Type 1 Neuroendocrine Tumor with no risk: What should I ask doctor?
Hello,
Yesterday my EGD biopsies revealed the Atrophic Gastritis diagnosis that I already knew about. The polyp that the doctor biopsied in my stomach was benign. According to the doctor, based on guidelines, having one of these benign polyps (called a Type 1 Neuroendocrine Tumor) has no risk. However, in order to be super certain, the doctor recommends repeating my endoscopy at this time to make sure we resect everying and repeating an EGD in 1 year. Is anything that I should be asking the doctor? With all your experiences, what are the steps/things can be recommended for me? I appreciate all your support!

Hi @racb,
As I recall you were having an appointment with a surgeon on Friday. I hope that went well and you got enough information to put your mind at ease regarding the next step in your treatment.
When it's convenient for you, please post an update.
