Negative biopsy but Dr doesn't believe it

My mum (aged 73) had surgery today to remove a tumour from her pancreas. They were unable to remove the tumour due to large blood vessels, but they took several biopsies which all came back as non cancerous; however, the surgeon doesn't believe that it isn't cancerous ..... Where do we go from here ? Very confused and very scared !

I bet you are confused and scared. Regular blood tests can indicate if something is wrong.Hopefully they will be keeping an eye on your mum too.

my husband has just had pancreatic surgery to remove the cancer. I wondered how long it takes to eat any type of normal meal again.

The operation took 12 hours to remove the pancriatic cancer and a different primary liver cancer.
