Honestly, the only symptom I was aware of was pain in my chin. I was also having shortness of breath when going up hills and stairs, but I just thought I needed to get into shape. The tumor was found when I had a spirometry test prior to getting tested for allergies.
I am going to Mayo, Rochester for the surgery to remove the tumor. Do you think I should request an appointment with a NET specialist also?

I am glad to hear that you are going to Mayo. If you are being treated at Mayo, you probably are already being followed by the NET team, but it wouldn't hurt to inquire about it.

Do you have a date for your surgery?
