Brief Answer:
Please give details and post actual reports.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Please post actual reports of CT scan, Ultrasound and Endoscopy to know the exact location, type and all of the lesion.

Lesion on pancreatic head is surely a thing of concern as you have classical symptoms of pain under right ribs radiating to the back.

What is the diagnosis he has offered/explained?

Awaiting for the reports and feedback.

Brief Answer:
Let us wait to see the actual report of FNA.

Detailed Answer:
I can very well understand the concerns with additional history that you have provided.
Since FNA is done we can only wait till the final report is there hence no need to worry at this point of time.
No worry about the spelling mistakes, I can know what you mean by.
Liver has a ''cyst'' and must be simple hence not to worry about it.
Hence your Doctor may not be wishing to annoy you at the moment.
Please keep calm and let us see what the report says.

Take care.
Waiting for the FNA report.
