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.
