You do seem to be a prime candidate for a PET scan at this point. Both Copper and Gallium isotopes are typically used in this situation. Which one is based on your health care facilities convenience to a Cyclotron. I've had both several times. Having NETs can be scary and challenging, but your initial findings do look promising for a long high quality life. Best wishes to you.

I would imagine that Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN would have PET scans available (I think there was an earlier post telling about this, in fact). Perhaps I just need to ask more questions. There is more than a month before my scheduled appointment there, so I think I have time to find out more. How often do you have CT or PET scans after initially finding out you have NETs? Is there a typical regimen or spacing of those tests?
