what treatment did you use?Most people get diagnosed at stage 4 sadly like my mom also.,....I am so happy that you are stable:)And where was your neuroendrocrine tumour?
@@Србомбоница86 I had bland treatment in the beginning because the cancer invaded 80% of my liver, I take octreotide every three weeks and it helps with the symptoms and I just completed last year PRRT treatment and my tumor shrunk remarkably
I was diagnosed may 29th 2019...The ambulance driver told me the hospital approved my insurance...After being in the hospital for 11 days I get the news I never was approved....My life now is trying to deal with this disease w/o insurance and the doctor bills that are still coming ...#THANKYOUGODFORMYLIFE🙏🙏
65+ and I live in MD and had a unrelated CT Scan on 9/29 that suspiciously indicates a small intestine NET. Just had a good colonoscopy yesterday . . . no problems but you can only get so far up there . . . could not get anywhere near the small intestine. I have a very good surgeon of unknown NET experience, at least to me and I am waiting for a date to get this out before it gets any larger . . . slightly less than an inch now. Concerned about future follow up meds and what to watch out for? and how? ( timely tests )? going forward because timing is everything. Want to avoid symptoms. Living on pins and needles to say the least.

I have neuroendocrine cancer, plus I have neurofibromatosis type one. I have multiple neurofibromas on my skin, which is different than neuroendocrine tumors, but it doubled my chances of getting neuroindercrine cancer. Well that day came and I just had a whipple procedure for ampulla of vater neuroendocrine carcinoid cancer. My surgeon said he got it all an didnt think I needed chemo. But a ct scan now shows a 1cm growth on my left adrenal gland which my surgeon did not tell me about, either because he was given a preliminary reading due to the ct scan was to rule out infection due to I developed a fever after going home from surgery or he didnt read the full report. Luckily we have a NETs foundation right here in Louisiana, I called them last week and already they have set up Gallium Scan and an appointment with a surgeon. Im feeling better about things but still scared.
1000% I self diagnosed with Cushings Disease. I considered carcinoid syndrome. All me myself and I. Cortisol testing and workup was denied for YEARS. I am so angry. I have lung involvement, chronic cough and wheezing but normal chest X-ray. I’m wanting to test 5-HIAA to ensure no lung involvement. I am going for IPSS soon.
