Next week I have to do a terrible test, I think it called fluoroscope test, so that they can determine if I am having pancreatitis. Please tell me what fluoroscope test is or what ever its name is.

It is most probably that they are going to do secretin test, and fluoroscope is the used to insert the “wire” down to your throat and your body until it reaches small intestine, and then they tape the tube with fluoroscope “wire” to the side of your mouth …..and then there is machine which stimulates your pancreas… and according to results that shows they can determine whether you have pancreatitis. This is as much as I am familiar with what is fluoroscope. My sister is a nurse so gave me this explanation, shortly.
