Not necessarily: It most likely means that the creon is working. Do not stop any treatments until your doctor says you are "cured" or alters your treatments. There is more to pancreatitis than just the duct size.

Wow...: Were you told the cause of your pancreatitis? If known, you should know. The shrinking duct is a good sign but not the only sign of healing, which could take a while. And a "chronic" (your word) condition is usually not cured (or it wouldn't be chronic) but usually managed. Be dutiful in managing this. The pancreas can be a nasty brute if you don't take good care of it!
