Hello, thanks so much for your reply. I will research more about the scan you recommend as I have never heard of that one. I am due to be scheduled for an MRI of my abdomen with contrast dye soon. I am sorry to hear that your son has nets. I hope his prognosis and treatment plan is good though. May I ask where his tumor or tumors were located and what prompted the investigation of his condition? I have had no symptoms that I know of and these masses were seen on a ct scan I was having on my chest for a follow up on some small pulmonary nodules in my lungs. This report that I got yesterday says these liver masses were there six months ago on a prior ct scan as well but that report made no mention of them whatsoever. That really bothers me. 🙁

Last April he had a ct scan for stomach pain. Was then diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma in the stomach, with metastasis to nearby lymph nodes and a few lesions on his liver. A second biopsy performed 3 months later on the liver was diagnosed as neuroendocrine. This was also in the original stomach biopsy , but not reported.
As of last week and the gallium pet scan, he has many metastasis throughout his bones. He’s had various ct scans all along, but nets never showed up. I’ve heard that pet scan and particularly this one we had is the most accurate method to find the nets, and severity of disease. I hope this helps. All I know is you have to be proactive, ask and demand answers. Health care systems, even in Canada, are very limited in proactively.
