Thank you for your message. Since the diagnosis is relatively recent, we have not discussed a visit to a Mayo Clinic but will consider it when she comes home. We think that will be tomorrow. Prior to this diagnosis, she had breast cancer 5 years ago and last fall in the other breast. She had lumpectomy each time and 36 radiation treatments with the first cancer. The 2nd one did not require radiation as the lumpectomy had clean margins. In addition, she was an elite athlete in college and now lives with chronic pain due to 14 different surgeries to knees, shoulder, and spinal fusion. My friend is one tough cookie but this diagnosis has thrown her very hard. We will definitely find a NET specialist as quickly as possible. Thanks for the links.
