Pancreatic cancer cysts - no treatment given?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hey guys,
My grandmother (87) was told today she has low grade pancreatic cancer cysts. The doctor said they won't be investigating into this further as there is no need unless things change or get worse. She was also told she has unexplained cirrhosis of the liver (unexplained as she never drank) and damage to the spleen as they're all connected but she is doing fine.
I was in shock and kicking myself now that I didn't ask more questions. I think he said he doesn't think it will change into something big.
Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Is this something that will develop into full blown cancer? Will it spread? Is there anything I can do to stop this and save her?

If it's really bothering you, get a second opinion. Not all lumps & bumps turn out to be anything big but i can't help but wonder if they are staying idle on this because of her age. I know it's not quite the same thing but i had a lump like mole appear on my nose for about 6yrs & my doc told me it was nothing. I finally had it removed last week cos it was affecting my self esteem. Moral of the story, my doc was wrong, it was cancer all along. Basal cell carcinoma. not the deadly kind, thank god but i'm trying to say that doctors don't always get it right.
