Based on the blood tests and symptoms they did all those various types of scans and saw nothing.

my last scan was abdominal mri in mid October. The nausea started about three weeks after that.
The gas and burping has been a issue for at least six months.
I really don't know what to do next. I have had so many scans that I am worried about more radiation especially since I had to have radiation treatment for a meningioma.

The most efficient ( in my opinion) diagnostic tool for NETs is Ga-68 Dotatate PET scan. But, a caviat - it detects functioning NETs (secreting Serotonin), because it relies on these receptors.
The usual F-18 DeoxyGlucose PET scan is the first " line of defense", as it shows organ abnormalities due to cancer cells absorbing radioactive glucese at a higher rate
