If your PET is not a DOTATATE 68 you might not get a correct answer to you tumor locations and size. I know MD Anderson is a good medical system. I highly recommend looking for Clinics that focus on NETS. Because I use Mayo Rochester I can’t say enough about how they have helped me but there are others groups that do amazing work. Do your research. Don’t just accept what is being told you. NET’s is not easy. The good thing is we have hope because it’s so slow growing. I’m adding a link. https://youtu.be/Y_wrbckiBkI Watch this YouTube and you will get a great understanding of why this disease is so hard to diagnose and why I started this with the DOTATATE 68 PET scan. If your insurance does not cover this scan ask for help from the NET’s foundation. They won’t pay your bill but there are people who deal with just the insurance/ non insurance aspect of this disease. Good Luck Coach V. We all understand that vague feeling of NET’s. Runner V
