Yes appointment went well. He said this does not respond chemo so offered an hormone injection given once a month and then reevaluate tumors in 3 months. He said no cures but this injection might stop spread and possibly shrink them. Also getting a referral for second opinion.

I had a second opinion meeting today with University of Kansas cancer center. I was told that any treatment would just be palliative, that my tumors are grade 2, stage 4 and that they are functioning tumors putting out their own hormones. My Serotonin instead of being below 283 is 506, Gastrin instead of 180 is 996, and Chromogranin A which is supposed to be less than 225 is now 1766. He suggested getting a pet scan to see if there are more tumors and how the ones that are there react and also wants to see the biopsy slides at their facility to be able to confirm that they are at grade 2. Sounds like I am back the the first thing God made clear - that he is in control. Doesn't sound like drs can do much.
