Right now I’m being seen at Johns Hopkins. Because of a developing bowel obstruction the procedures have happened pretty rapidly. I’ve had a PET/Ct DOTENTATE Scan, a scan with iodine contrast at JH which provided a lot of information, and a second CT contrast scan last weekend because of fear that my small intestines were blocked. In sum I have a 5 cm mass in the mesentary, entangled small bowels, a suspected mass in the small intestine, uptake in some abdominal lymph glands, a right thyroid which show a lot of uptake and I’m awaiting a fine needle biopsy on it. So far my liver and pancreas seem free. Also some suspicious areas in T9 vertebrae and right collar bone. I started lanreotide under a John Hopkins doctor who works on NETs. I am also seeing a surgeon who works on NETs although he does other types of small bowel oncology. Because of concerns about obstruction i’m et for surgery tomorrow.
