Thank you everyone for replying
My oncologist contacted the dentist and told him under no circumstances can I get epinephrine

This is my 6 years trying to get information for having Neuroendocrine Cancer, lung Nets! I was told by Mass. General any operation big or small doctors should have Octreotide needle or IV. in case of hormones from tumors changing the amount secretes during procedure. My Dentist was told no epinephrine, unless they had Octreotide as a stand by.
Sadly, a lot of doctors or dentists, do not understand this type of cancer. Please everyone, make a binder of what you have, what procedures you have had or not have. Type all you Doctor's nane, phone #, fax numbers. Hopefully, you have surrounded yourself with Neuroendocrine Cancer Care Team who can answer your questions, before any procedure, or taking any new medication not given by your CARE TEAM!
