What Do You Suggest For A Cyst On The Head Of My Pancreas With High Stress Levels?

I have a newly found "mass/cyst" on the head of my pancreas. It has doubled in size in size in 4 months. I've had CT's and MRI's. It "looks benign...". I saw an Oncologist on Fri.. Obviously. a perhaps a biopsy & Pet Scan (though not feasible$), however, tomorrow the plan is additional extensive ca blood work. I have lost 20 plus lbs,zero appetite (in 5 wks). However, the stress level is at an all time high with a divorce trial pending, so....maybe I've been a wreck and was unaware! I'm pretty freaked now though. They found it while in ER with a wicked chronic UTI. They scanned for kidney stones and admitted me due to this report. I opted after a week in-house, semi-unrelated, to have it checked every 3/6 months-which is what I did a couple weeks ago. Pancreatic cancer is unacceptable.... I've already lost a decade bedridden (due to a car accident), THR, etc.. I choose to only improve. Thank you GOD! Feedback would be awesome. I'm in a new city with a new Dr that was pretty cut and dry. It all caught me off guard, I asked little questions. Thanks a bunch for your time. #RookieAtThis

u have multiple physical as well as psychological problems. I thing i want to say, size of cyst or any lesion in body, do not increase with stress. In stress ur symptoms like decrease appetite, sleep disturbance, depressive symptoms. U should consult a psychiatrist for your psychological evaluation. U need antidepressants, that would really help u. In any case u need help u can connect us.
