Pancreas lesion

Hi. Wonder if anyone has experience on pancreas lesions. 
I had my right kidney removed November last year, due to kidney cancer. At the same time of having the scans a lesion was found on pancreas. 
I have had CT,Mri and biopsy and now waiting for a PET scan, as they still don't know what it is but have to rule out cancer, either metasized from the kidney, although been told and they don't believe it's that, or something separate. 
Although have had the kidney cancer, I'm quite positive that this is nothing. 
Would like to know about others experience with lesions on pancreas, good or bad please

Thank you 

  • Hello TG99

    I'm sorry to hear that following your surgery for kidney cancer last year an area of concern was found on your pancreas.

    It sounds as if the team responsible for your care is fully investigating this and it sounds as if they're feeling quite positive about things. 

    Hopefully, if we've any other members here on the forum who have experience with investigations for a pancreatic lesion they'll reply to share their experiences with you. In the meantime, I wanted to give you the contact information for our team of nurses. I know that sometimes people find this period of waiting and uncertainty to be difficult and it can often help to talk things through. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you have some reassuring news soon. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
