Might I ask what you mean by had it in stomach? They find NET in my stomach during biopsies each year and they remove them. Been benign. But I have that facial flushing a lot. Nobody knows why.

I had 3 NET tumors in stomach (mayor curve). The treatment was resection and after that octreotide shots, 18 doses, 1 per 4 weeks. With this treatment solved all the symptoms and inactivated the tumors, in my case.

Before the treatment two symptoms were: Red flushing cheeks and diarrhea… and a lot more.

Remember, everybody has different reactions with the NETs and with the treatment. Please be patient and trust in your oncologist.

Btw: Gastric NET, clase 2, active, with carcinoide symptoms…. that was my diagnostic 4 years ago.
