Newly diagnosed - neuroendocrine tumor in intestines

Hello @bellpch9

CT scans and MRIs are both used to view and diagnose problems. In some cases, an MRI will give the doctor a better picture of what is going on. Once during a CT scan, cysts were seen on my pancreas. Since the pancreas is better viewed with an MRI, I now have follow ups with an MRI, rather than a CT scan. It could be that the reason your doctor is requesting an MRI is for a better picture of the adrenal gland tumor.

I'm wondering why you are questioning the need for an MRI. Have you had an MRI previously? Do you feel frightened by the MRI or about any further diagnosis?

THANK YOU for your reply, ❤️🎄
I want to know if it’s cancerous before I cash pay 700 MRI the CT scan already shows it’s adrenal gland. A blood and urine tests can do testing to see if it’s cancerous by the levels.
Why can’t they tell me if the adrenal gland MRI will tell if it is cancerous or not no one has answered this serious question.
