Hi Everyone :=-)

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Thank you so much for responding to my post. Was able to have the ct scan done yesterday because of them having an opening, otherwise, the next available appointment wouldn't be until right before Christmas. Ct scan showed that the pancreas is fine. Because of having a pituitary tumor earlier this year & having to have it removed, I have a case manager assigned to me at the hospital. I talked with her yesterday about what all is going on & about my concerns concerning my primary care dr & verbally filed a "complaint" out of frustration. She emailed my dr & basically he no longer wants to care for me, which my husband & several other people have told me that I needed to change drs because of several things that have happened this year. He took all of this personally & then called me & took it out on me pretty much. I feel really bad, but I first complained about having this pain in my chest back in May & he told me it was normal & that it would go away in about a year only to find out 2 months ago from my general surgeon that it is not normal & that I should have said something sooner & now look at where I am at. Anyway, I did get a referral to go off base to see a GI specialist about having an ERCP done. What should I expect with this? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for being here for me.

HUGS,
Tara
