Neuroendocrine tumor: What tests are used for diagnosis?

Hi There-
Sorry for my delayed response back to you as I have been traveling back/forth to Mayo the past two weeks for my follow up appointments. I am so sorry to hear that you are having such pain. For the nausea, it is possible for you to ask your physician for meds that can prevent it? Do you have any additional testing coming up? Please keep us posted. If we can help, please feel free to reach out to us. I have found that on Mayo Connect, we all support one another in our various healthcare journey. While our paths may differ, the goal is the same. Stay encouraged and know that you are being thought of.
Warmest Regards,
Sherry

Thank you Sherry! I just saw the GI doctor and he has scheduled, endoscope and colonoscopy on 2/9. Still waiting for the 5Hiaa urine test results. He feels I have all the symptoms of a carcinoid tumor. He states, let's start here and if that doesn't show anything we will go further with testing. I'm thankful this doctor is taking my symptoms more serious than my Oncologist! He was very impressed with my Cardiologist who has gone beyond her specialty. Fingers crossed all goes well. And yes, I do have medication for nausea from the Oncologist when I was on Imbruvica. Will keep informed on results.
