Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a ct scan done in Sept. and it showed several prominent peripancreatic/periportal lymph nodes. My doctor set me up with a gastro doctor and I went to see him on the 9th. He said I should have a EUS so they could check the lymph nodes with ultra sound. I have also had bright yellow loose bowels, abdominal pain, nausea and over all tired. What could these lymph nodes be a sign of?
HI. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Multiple lymph nodes in the peri-pancreatic and peri-portal area are to be taken as secondary nodes to Cancer unless proved otherwise.
I would advise you to tell your Doctors to get a ultrasonography guided FNAC or a direct biopsy, MRI study to see if there is a primary cancer and get operated if indicated.
Get a reference for an Oncologist so that you do not waste much of an important time and get the diagnosis fast and treatment as early as possible
