Thank you for contacting me again. My pain is being controlled by medication and I have had the endoscopy/colonoscopy with another CT scan scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have had the 24 urine test. Ironically a lot of years ago after routine blood tests my doctor said that I had unomally high levels of serotonin which I believed was a good thing but he said it could come back to bite me in the future and it has.

Hello @monkey5333,

I'm glad that you let me know about the upcoming endoscopy/colonoscopy and CT scan. The elevated serotonin levels can be an indication of NETs so it is good that you are getting a thorough check-up.

I hope that your doctor is able to get a biopsy and find out what the problem might be. Will you post again after your endoscopy/colonoscopy (and of course post with any questions you might have in the meantime)?
