A dilated pancreas tail is not a good thing; the probability of this being cancer is high unfortunately.

Thank you very much londres..I have to wait for 2 months for an endoscopy ultrasound to find out what it is..But theres no way i can wait that long im in pain constant and i feel the longer they take to do the test the worse the problem will end up..Should i just go the hospital or wait it out?

Go to the hospital if the workup is going to be quicker for you, especially if your pain is unbearable.  That would be my recommendation.  

Don't wait around at home and let the pain get worse.
