I had an episode of anaphylaxis due to cologne at church, anyway I went to see an Allergist, he did a trypase and Chromogranin A test. Trypase was normal, the Chromogranin A was 573mg/NL normal is 0-160, I also have facial flushing, diarrhea, and itching? The Dr who did the test first told me to see an Oncologist, then changed his mind and sent me see my GI Dr, my GI Dr just brushed it all of and now I am back to square one, how do I get the proper treatment to get a proper diagnoses?
My sister was diagnosed in February 2020 with NET (neuroendocrine tumor), on March 16, 2020, a PET-CT was done. There she was informed that she has endocrine metastases not only in the liver but also multiple metastases in the abdominal wall (peritoneal carcinomatous). She started SSA Octreo-Ratiopharm 20 mg therapy (monthly injection). However, liver metastases have increased compared to February 2020 and to May 4. MY QUESTION; a BIOPSY was never made and will be made in mid-June 2020. is it correct that from February to June she never had a biopsy?
It’s very weird that’s usually the second step I was diagnosed in 2-04-2016 it was discovered by CT scan first then a liver biopsy where it was 80 percent of my liver, then pet scan , mri , all sorts of tests. Recently treated with prrt which shrunk my tumor by 65 percent which made a beautiful impact on my quality of life. 🤞🏽
