Neck and face red flushing

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.

Hello @lupitaromero and welcome to the NETs discussion on Mayo Connect. I'm so glad that you have joined this discussion group and have been sharing information based on your experiences. I also, have had three NETs in the upper digestive tract (duodenal bulb), however, I've had no carcinoid syndrome symptoms.

If you are comfortable sharing more, when was your first NET discovered? Were you having any digestive issues at that time that led to the diagnosis?
