I am waiting to see if my lousy insurance will approve for me to go there for the test. Then for some odd reason the surgery will be done here at jewish Kenwood hospital. I have no idea why but then I have no idea about anything these days. :( Justbelieving Fri, 09 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT i dont know much about pancreatic cancer but i hope i can boost your confidence with iu here in indiana. i am a two time stage iv  colon and stomach cancer survivor and thanks to iu i am still here. it is a wonderful med center and i put my utmost confidence in them. good luck to you. Skittlebug Fri, 09 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT I neglected to say this was the opinion of the surgeon after blood tests, a sonagram of the abdomen, a cat scan, a upper GI and a stool occult. Justbelieving Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT I went to the GI doctor and then to the Vascular surgeon (one of the best pancreatic doctors in Ohio)  who says he is 99% sure this mass is not on my pancreas but a diverticulum since I have no symptoms of pancreas cancer and everything else, liver, spleen etc. looked clear and fine and to go back to my GI for a colonoscopy.  Now, today, I return to the GI doctor who is sending me to the University of Indiana, who are supposed to be one of the best in pancreatic treatment, for tests. He is 99% sure it is cancer and will not do a colonoscopy. Then back here for surgery if need be. Now this place ia 100 miles from me and I am not even sure if my insurance will pay for it. Why the difference of opinion? I am totally confused....and tired! I am going broke here and nobody is agreeing with anybody, Justbelieving Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT
