@dadcue Reads as yours is caught early. 🙂 May want to ask for a PET Dota Tate scan which will specifically search for NET tumors throughout your body. Your CGA is a bit high. My last CGA was 7,195

Thank-you! ... your CgA result helps me put mine into perspective. I don't really want to do anything that looks for another medical problem. I have plenty of medical problems already.

I'm not even sure that I want to do a capsule endoscopy that is going to be scheduled. Just because something "looks suspicious" on an abdominal CT scan ... maybe it is better to back off and leave it alone.

The PET Dotatatescan confirmed that I had 2 NETS in my pancreas, if NETS is the concern I would definitely get the Dotatate scan. It sounds like they found it early which is terrific, Good luck.
