My husband has had 3 ERCP's and a surgery. I was told that it was

standard proceedure that each time they went into the pancreas that

they would do a brushing or a biopsy. I was told that on the first

ERCP. They just recommended the Whipple and I took him for a second

opinion to Dr. Brunicardi in Houston. He said he did not think he

needed it at this time and wondered why there had been no brushings

taken and wants another ERCP done with brushings. What has everyone

else's experience been with ERCP's and surgery? Are brushings or

biopsy's standard? I just would like to know what type of care we

have gotten. As it stands now, I am changing doctors as I have lost

faith in this one.
