Hi Poppey. I suppose it depends what the blood tests show? If it’s a benign mass they often adopt a wait and see and monitor with scans, dependant on size location and if it’s symptomatic or not. Some benign masses can be drained via endoscopic procedure. If it is benign and symptomatic or they are concerned and/or it’s not benign and you are fit enough they may consider a whipple op. I had mine 3 years ago. With very little info it’s hard to say but please try not to worry until you have something definitive and your consultant is best placed to give you next steps x
