How Can Pancreatitis Be Treated?

My husband looks like he is due. Has had problems with pancreatitis, kidneys, and lungs. They found a 4mm spot on his pancreas and wanted him to go to a specialist for cancer he refused because her had already been told he was dying. His dr in utah said there was no more he could do for him. Please what can be done.? Yes he is an alcholic. And if you detox him again I will lose him. But I know something cam be done. Please help!!!!!

General Surgeon,  's  Response

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It looks to me like chronic pancreatitis but also this spot should be reevaluated since it may indicate some cancerous lesions.
In most cases it can be regulated by medications which include insuline supplements and enzymes for digestion Also alcohol is forbidden in these cases and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food. Also, avoid citotoxic medications. If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include drainage procedures or pancreas resection. This is last option and you should consult your doctor about this.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
