Hello @gig666

Many of the detailed questions you have asked can only be answered by your medical team. You did ask, however, about a scan that can detect other NETs in the body. Here is some information about a scan that can be used for just that purpose. It is the 68GA Dotatate PET. Here is a link to some information about this scan,

You might inquire as to a nearby facility that has this scan available. Major hospital and/or research centers will often have this equipment.
