The doc said she might have tumor on her pancreas. How could that be possible she is so young she is only 27. Is there any cure?

Well - not sure what enzymes you are talking about - but if involves the pancreas there could be an elevation in her amylase or lipase which would be an indication that the pancreas is inflammed. She probably does not have a tumor - she is very young...but she could have what is called a "pseudocyst" or a cyst type structure that looks like a tumor on a CT scan. Sounds like she needs further work-up to figure out why she is having these problems.
