I would definitely see a NET specialist, I have carcinoid syndrome , NET’s started in my small intestine and spread to my liver. I had a biopsy diagnose what the tumors were. I was getting the hot flashes 25-30 times a day, I get Ocreotide injections monthly and that seems to keep the hot flashes under control.. my flashes were only facial..

I appreciate your response. Did you have any other symptoms besides flushing? Also, did you have any tests ( 5HIAA, chromogranin, etc) or scans that indicated the presence of a NET? The problem I am running into is I am only having the flushing, but no blood/urine tests or scans are indicating anything, so my doctor is not recommending me anywhere.
