Welcome to one of the world's crappiest clubs.

I'm in exactly your spot.

Many elevated endocrine markers, hyperparathyroidism w/2 adenomas already removed & it's recurring, many elevated tumor/inflammation markers. But each specialist only deal with their tiny piece of the puzzle. Where are the multiple endocrine neoplasia teams!

I'm going to insist on PET/CT with my PCP. Not with a MEN-specific contrast, b/c I could be wrong. They could be other tumor types or fibrosis of major organs like kidney or liver. I'M NOT A DOCTOR!

I sure would like one, though.

I'll fly/drive where I can order imaging myself, if need be.

Good luck. It's rough out there.

I didn't read anything after "Welcome to one of the world's crappiest clubs". I take offense to that. This is the world's most important club to me.

WE share your same frustrations!! We wait two weeks for an appointment to spend 20 minutes to get told to go see another dr.
