Hi Phoebe! You have a couple of weeks until your appointment- it gives you time to learn more about NETs.
Can you please go over again your timeline when different symptoms appeared?
I was 48 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer- only one in my family with any cancer. I had 3 young children-11, 9 and 5.
My chemo months were a nightmare. My oldest understood that I would be better afterwards, the 9 year old thought I was dying and slept in my room the whole time. The 5 year old probably didn’t comprehend- we told him that Mom is going to be fine after the medicine and he continued living his regular life!
Write down all your questions- mark the ones you must have answers to before the appointment is over.
At Mayo they work very systematically, organized, to get to a diagnosis and ruling out other conditions.
Giving you a big hug for being brave!
