Pancreatic cyst

[sezios]

Been told I have a small (7mm) cyst on my pancreas and I am absolutely freaking out. From what I am reading, anything found on the pancreas is bad news. They want to leave it 3 months and re-scan to see if it changes. I just want to know now what I am dealing with. Can't stop crying.

They wouldn't leave it 3 months if they were worried about it though would they so it must be normal to do that.

It's just like keeping an eye on anything like that , they'll watch for changes and act before anything sinister happens, doesn't mean it's cancer at all, I had an ovarian cyst once and had to have it checked again , turns out it had gone. If it were sinister you'd be in for further testing x
