So good to hear from you, @mbg20. It sounds like your recovery has been very steady. That is a testament to the good work you have done with your diet and exercise plan. I'm glad to hear that you are able to control the pain with the use of the pain meds.

I see you have an appointment in two days. Will this be a follow up appointment with the surgeon?

I did meet with the surgeon. The good news is the biopsy showed slow growth of remaining tumors. Im continuing with lanreotide injections to also help slow growth. I still am having difficulty eating but that seems to be more or less normal. A CT scan in 3 months should help determine if the remaining tumors remain indolent. I’m also getting a needle biopsy of my right thyroid which lit up in the DOTENTATE scan.
