My wife has been diagnosed with errosive esphagitis 1 1/2 yrs ago.
She was told she has a large build up of stomach acid with caused the
esphagitis. Other symptoms she has been experiencing till today is
painfull night leg cramps when sleeping, lower back pain, abdominal
tenderness and pain, bloating (gas), diarrhea, a few gray-clay colored
stools, confusion, a recurring flakey sore on her upper buttocks, consti-
pation, fatigue and a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Several weeks ago she had a CAT scan done on her abdomen, which found a
possible tumor on the pancreas head. In turn was a MRI of the abdomen,
which found a possible calcification on the pancreas head. It measures
1 cm x 9 mm.
My question is... What is the prognosis for a calcification that size
on the pancreas head? And will she need surgery? And are these symptoms
consistant with panreatic cancer and/or calcification?
I already the prognosis for pancreatic cancer!
