I appreciate the information regarding the history of this health issue, Cuda. I have also had neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), not paraganglioma but a different type and I so understand that often these are found incidentally when doctors are preforming other tests or scans. I have had three surgeries for NETs since 2003, so I consider myself to be a 20-year survivor of this type of cancer.

I would encourage you to read the biopsy report when it becomes available (either on the patient portal or when you obtain a copy from your doctor). As you read it, feel free to ask questions about anything that you don't understand. When you are dealing with a rare form of cancer, it is also very appropriate to ask for a referral to a specialist.

Are you considering asking for more scans or testing for the neck discomfort that you are experiencing?
