Hello @dbmenger

I see that you are still dealing with high fluctuating high Chromogranin-A levels and normal results from other tests and scans. I remember that you have posted about this in the neuroendocrine group as well. Sometimes the Chromogranin-A levels can be high due to other health and/or medication issues. However, I know that your concern is understandable. I've had the same experience myself. My GI specialist stopped doing this particular blood test since all other scans, MRIs, and blood work were normal.

Have you considered getting a second opinion from a university medical school in your area or perhaps a facility like Mayo Clinic?

Thank you for your reply! I have my endocrinologist, oncologist and gastroenterologist (I seem to have my own clinic) looking at this anomaly - led by my PCP.
All this chromogranin business started with hot flashes I had out of the blue 20 years after a hysterectomy and two years after cessation of Premarin. I’m still flashing - and I have weird chromogranin results. I’m thinking it’s going to be part of my permanent persona.
We have a university medical center here; I just need to figure out where to go there.
