Thank you, Teresa. When I first asked my oncologist about doing the Dotatate, she pretty much said about the same thing plus she said if anything was found on the FDG PET, we would switch to the Dotatate. I think her reasoning was that since the only NET tumor so far has been in the breast, we would follow this way. I appreciate your researching this for me and feel much more reassured about the whole process.

I'm glad to hear that this information was reassuring to you, @trixie1313!

Are you scheduled for a new scan in the near future? Will you keep in touch and provide updates?

I have a PNET which showed up on a GA68 DOTATATE PET. I now have a breast tumor and it did not light up on the GA 68 DOTATATE PET scan. The biopsy of the breast tumor said it was neuroendocrine focal. Could it be a NET?
