Tominator Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well, my doc called this morning, and there is definitely something on my pancreas. What it is, they don't know, but based on my history, it's another tumor of some sort. What kind of tumor, they don't know. Best guess is that it's another carcinoid. It could be some type of pancreatic tumor that's pretty typical of an MEN I patient, and it very remotely could be medullary cancer again, but the doc says that case is close to zero. Doc is going to confer with the radiologists and surgeons once the rest of the blood work comes back, but he feels 3 options are at hand. #1--leave it go and watch it since it's not producing any type of hormonal imbalance, #2--do a CT guided biopsy of it, or #3--surgery. He didn't know if they could do a laproscopic surgery. Good news is, that if surgery is necessary, it's on the tail of the pancreas, which is better than the head of the pancreas. It's small too, so that's decent news too; I guess. Anyway, there's your update. This better not interfere with bow season or Hawaii!

muggs Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: Here We Go Again--Bummer The doctor's feelings are positive, and, all things considered, it sounds like there's more good things about the finding than bad. I'll be praying for you pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: Here We Go Again--Bummer Chris, Wow, sorry to hear about the report......I am going to pray that it is nothing but a harmless cyst on your ovary! What's humor among friends? Seriously, praying for you and praying it will turn out to be nothing to worry about. If it were me, I would have surgery to get it out of there and know for sure what, if anything, it is. I know that is easy for me to say but with your history, I don't think letting anything go would sound very good to me. New Prayers sent.
