I have a spot on my pancreas, what does it mean?
Patient: It was discovered I had a spot on my pancreas during a CT.I had HepC-ws in treatment w Pegasus for 4 mos. They wanted me to do a MRI-I didn t have health insurance and frankly I ignored theor advice aboit MRI. I have no pain or any unusual symptoms-I am now rescheduled for MRI-applying for health insurance. I am NOW VERY worried. Doctor: Hi,   Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.  Since you do not have any symptoms like pain or fever it can not be an abscess. MRI has to be done to rule out any benign or malignant condition. Please do not neglect and let the doctors do their job. Since spot on pancreas is an incidental finding on CT scan and there is no clear cut relation between HCV infection and pancreatic cancer I advice you to undergo MRI and follow the advice of your doctor.   Take care.   Wish you good health.
