A member asked:
Can you tell me about what to do about a cyst in the tail of the pancreas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tail: I have to presume that some study was done to document a cyst at the tail of your pancreas. Surely your doctor or the doctor who did the study would tell you what that meant. If indeed you have not been told, ask for the answer and don't be shy. It is your body.
