I was scheduled to have gall bladder surgery and had a CT done

was cancelled as it shows a mass in the pancreas. I weigh about 460
and barely fit into the CT donut. Does a mass always mean cancer or
could it be something else?

You're not the guy in all those books, are you?
It could be cancer, but it could be many other things as well, including infection, including pseudocyst/congenital cysts, which don't cause anything and other things that aren't cancer.
I hope that is 460 lbs and not 460 kg.
Either way, losing weight is a good idea (I know -easier said than done).
Jeff, wondering where my book is.
