Hi everyone

in August I was told I have possible  PC with lung mets and I have had two EUS biopsy’s which have been negative, I am having another today! The last one wasn’t pleasant , I don’t think he gave me enough sedation. How many times will they keep trying ? I have no raised blood tumour markers . Originally they said it was probably Thyroid  cancer and I feel like I am just going round in circles , not getting any definitive answers. 

Has this happened to anyone else?

What can I ask the drs ?

thanks 

  • Hi Supertrouper welcome to the forum. In answer to your query you can ask the doctors anything. Why 3 biopsies when the first 2 were negative? Do I have Pancreatic Cancer with Lung mets or Thyroid Cancer ? Why the different thoughts on this and when is someone going to tell me what they are doing, why and when will I know the definite outcome? Last but not least How long will I have to wait to get answers?
