Pantfan,
Dana Farber Caner Institute Boston Ma
Anuj Patel MD is my oncologist at Dana Farber. His area of specialty is
gastrointestinal where it is more common for NET tumors to be found. I hope
I didn’t lead you to think his specialty was lung NETS. Patel discusses my
scans and blood work with a NET team so that is advantageous.

You don’t need a referral unless your insurance requires you to have one,
as mine does, from my Prmary Care doc.

Google Dana Farber cancer Institute and all the information you need will
be there for you.

I did find a lung NET specialist who has a lot of experience with treating
patients with lung NETs. Google him to learn more:
Dr. Robert Ramirez
Vanderbuilt University
Nashville, TN

God bless,
Emily Dowling

@emilyfaith
Thank you so much for sharing Emily. I'm very happy you have found a specialist who's been helpful to you. I have seen youtube videos of Dr. Ramirez discussing lung nets. Dr. Wolin at Mount Sinai is another lung net specialist. I will definitely explore all my options before I decide on having surgery. This whole situation has made me very anxious. I hope I find the right doctor and NET team for my condition.
Thank you again and wishing you all the best.
