all I had was a CT of lungs which showed no new tumors. Doctor said we will wait and see. I think I should have a PET scan, but I do not know. CgA is 97 from 83.

@sadragliz A GA-68 or CU-64 dotatate pet scan is pretty much standard screening for neuroendocrine tumors. If your tumors have the proper receptors (the majority do, though some do not) these net specific pet scans will identify them anywhere in the body. This is important information as it shapes the treatment plan your doctor will come up with. If you're not already seeing a net specialist for monitoring, I would highly recommend doing so and Mayo is one of the best - any of their campuses.
