Pancreatic spot

Posted by mikalleb @mikalleb, Aug 15, 2023

My husband had melanoma 4 months ago. Had surgery. Ctscan today showed melanoma gone, but a spot on his pancreas. He does have diabetes. They told him to go back in 6 months. Should he get a 2nd opinion at Mayo, or not worry about it like his cancer Dr said?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

It looks as though there is a clinic at Mayo that evaluates pancreatic cysts as well as screening people for pancreatic cancer if they are at high risk for pancreatic cancer. Seems to fall into the gastroenterology department.
