I get tested a lot for my hormone levels and they say the Pituitary issue has nothing to do with the NET I have. I disagree, but what do I know. I do know the pain can go off the scale and mentally it feels like my hormones are off but last time I had Blood work everything was good..?? I am being seen by 2 dr.s, one is the Moffitt center and my treatments are from Florida cancer specialist's because the drive to Moffitt is 4 hours one way, but they are the main one because they are one of the top 5 for this type of cancer. My wife had stg. 4 metastatic melanoma and they just wanted to put her on a clinical trial to give her another year or two. The 7 large tumors are gone and that was 7 years ago but the side effects are real bad, but she's here.
