Hi, I was diagnosed with a mass on my prancreas with possible liver lecisions on my liver. Biopsy next week. I am 64. Been in a lot of pain in abdomen and back. Praying for the best but preparing for the worst . Thank you , it feels better to have others to talk to. Not so alone.

A pancreas biopsy typically involves using a thin needle to collect tissue samples, which can be done through the skin or during an endoscopic procedure, and while some discomfort is normal, the medical team will work to keep you as comfortable as possible. Many people in this community have been through similar procedures and understand both the anxiety and hope that comes with waiting for results, so please feel free to share any concerns or questions you might have as you go through this process.

Sorry to hear Tracy, I know a little about pain my back and abdomen. And how painful that is, I have tried oxycodone but being in recovery for 40 years. Now tried CBD products, they seem to take the edge off, but I don't like the buzz that goes with it. I pray things will change and get better for you.
