Gaylejean:  The OctreoScan is a two day scan that specifically looks for carcinoids. The first day you have a radioactive injection and then later in the day you go back for a series of scans, and then the second day you go back in the afternoon for some more scans.  Here is a website that will put you in touch with support groups in the U.S. http://www.carcinoid.org/resources/support-groups/directory/.  Even though you might not be able to get to a meeting you might find some personal support through email or phone calls.  I have found that people with carcinoids are very helpful, thoughtful, people who understand what it is like to have something that no one else understands.   I'm sorry to hear that your family is not supportive of you at this time, sometimes we need to find our own support family in other places.  Keep in touch! <br><br>

Never said my family was not supportive.<br><br>
