Did the Dr run 5-HIAA urine test or Chromogranin A (CgA) blood test? These tests are tumor markers that look for serotonin producing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), especially small bowel (ileal) NETs. Scans may not pick up small tumors if they are very small.

@fraaseo I did not have those tests run. My biopsy is this Thursday.
