Recurrence in Liver after Whipple

I have not had the calcium stimulation test yet. It is coming up soon. However, I have had it done in the past due to the indeterminate liver lesions. Fortunately, in the past the stimulation across the liver has been negative for functional insulinomas. It has been 2 years since I last had it done. There have been some imaging changes and increase in hypoglycemia frequency and severity since that time so it is being repeated. I can provide more information after the visit. Thanks for checking!

Just following up. I had the calcium stimulation test on Tuesday. The liver was positive for insulinoma metastasis. The plan for now is to continue octreotide injections monthly and monitor by imaging and develop the plan from there. I feel very good about the plan and I am blessed to be at Mayo with an incredible endocrinologist.
