Hello all. My brother had MEN1 and sadly passed at 37. I have been diabetic for almost 20 years. I have suddenly had 2 weeks of very bad watery diarrhea and also started having coughing fits. Wheezing also. When I eat it is worse. Do you think it could be a tumor or the syndrome? Thank you in advance.

Hello, @racheln82, and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I am sorry to hear of your brother's death. Please accept my condolences.

Given your family history, I understand your concern with these new symptoms. As you may know, Mayo Connect's members are patients like yourself. While most of us have experience with NETs we are not medical professionals and therefore cannot help you with a diagnosis.

As these symptoms have been going on for two weeks I would encourage you to see your doctor. Have you notified your doctor about these changes in your health? Given your family history, this is probably a good idea. It can put your mind at ease to understand the significance of these symptoms.

Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?
