Hello @ce1b

It sounds as if you are getting into a good mind-set to deal with this unexpected diagnosis. I never had symptoms of NETs before they were discovered, and I was quite active as well. It is a shock to find your healthy lifestyle turned upside down by a cancer diagnosis.

As you mentioned the impact of hearing your brother's best friend dying of cancer, I would encourage you not to think of his journey as applying to you. It can easily sway you from a positive attitude and positivity goes a long way when you are dealing with cancer. Remember, every cancer is different as is everyone's treatment plan. His journey does not have to be the same as yours.

I see that the tumor board will be meeting on Oct. 12. Will you get the results of their consult soon after that?

The pretreatment tests now include a brain scan. This has pushed the treatment plan back to the 18th. The doctors should have a plan by then.

In the interim I am planning a second opinion. Not that I don’t trust the doctors but just to insure I have a full understanding of the options.

I believe this will give me confidence in knowing I going down the right path.

Blessings to all that are on this journey.
