MRI showed a shadow on my dads pancreas

my dad had an MRI scan which showed up a shadow on his pancreas. He has had other scans apparently which all came back clear. They wanted to put a camera down his throat but he has declined this so can diagnose cancer and that evidence alone what will happen next Can anyone help me X

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your dad's situation, it sounds like you are unsure exactly what may be going on.

    Unfortunately as no one here is involved in your dad's care it is difficult to comment on what will happen next. It seems the doctors wish to do some more tests to find out more about what the matter is but if your dad is declining them it may be difficult for the doctors to get answers.

    I would suggest having another chat with your dad to ask more questions and if he is unsure with his permission perhaps you could speak with the doctor involved.

    I hope you get some more clarity soon.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes
