OMG. Yes yes yes so much the same. I was told by my pulmonary doctor that it might be DIPNECH but my oncologist does not say I have it. There are multiple tumorets but not growing. I still wonder if the different hospitals are correctly measuring them
Let's keep in touch
I have GERD too. Before my DIPNECH and lung NETs was diagnosed even though we knew about all the nodules for a dozen years of incorrect guesses, my local pulmonologist told me my coughing was from GERD. I didn’t believe it and he wasn’t correct. I still have GERD but not the coughing due to the octreotide. My pulmonologist has one other DIPNECH patient but she’s asymptomatic and he didn’t even know about octreotide as a treatment. He’s really not interested in my case so I may switch to a pulmonologist on my NETs team at some point but oncology and the interventional radiologist are managing it well. You would think a specialist would be excited about following a rate disorder but I find they don’t want to invest time in learning about it when they may never have another case.
