Wow 16 years ago. I've never even heard of such treatment. And it managed to stop all your tumors! I feel envious of your treatment.

It gives me hope but also makes me a bit sad because I'm not sure they even give that treatment in Finland.

It only destroyed the one tumor. Tumors will have to be destroyed one by one as needed but only when needed. I also take octreotide injections to manage symptoms and slow growth even more. Luckily they are very slow growing typical carcinoids which is neuroendocrine cancer. It’s rare, only 1% of lung cancer cases but luckily treatable. Hoping whatever yours is will be treatable as well. Yours seems slow growing as well. My treatment is by a university hospital. I’m sure Mayo would do this procedure if appropriate for your case.
