Dr. Goldfarb,
A CT has been done and is normal. That said, I don't hold a lot of
stock in CT Scans. I had many done on my pancreas when I had Chronic
Pancreatitis and they all showed me to have a pretty normal pancreas.
Based on other tests, we knew this was not the case. When they went in
to remove part of the pancreas, the pancreas was not normal. A year
later when they went in to remove the remaining portion, it was fibrotic
and sclerosed! The day before the removal of the remaining portion of
the pancreas, the CT showed "Normal." This was not just one hospital
over the time I was ill, but several hospitals and different
radiologists reading the scans.
