Hi Tom,

Thank you for sharing your wife’s story. I will be having an MRI/MRCP. I’m hoping it won’t show anything of great concern and we can just follow my case with scans like your wife. Her story is encouraging. The link is also a very informative article. Thank you for sharing that as well.

Incidental findings can be so frustrating. It’s like taking your car in for an oil change and being told 5 other things need replaced.

Praying for positive outcomes for your wife as well.

Hi Zebra,
Glad to hear you're having the MRI/MRCP type scan. Hope it comes back benign. I can certainly relate to the anxiety about incidental findings. I read that patients now have a word for it; scanxiety. My NETs were discovered when I had a CT scan for an intestinal obstruction. Then later when I had further scans for my NETs they found a significantly calcified aortic artery. Wishing you no more incidental findings!
All the best to you.
Tom
