2nd primary tumor? The latest update...

[mamacze]

By way of a follow up; I had 4 scans last week (1 CAT and 3 octreoscans) and thank God, they came back clean and clear. However, because of ongoing symptoms (daily episodes of flushing), my onc wants me to have a second opinion with a carcinoid specialist at Dana Farber...so as far as I am concerned, I am in a holding pattern until we hear this man's recommendations. Thank you all for your earlier ideas, resources and suggestions...I will keep you posted...
Love Kim

Kim thanks for the update. Hope they find some benign reason for what you're experienceing.

Keep us posted on what you find out.

Encouraging, though the prayers will continue...as always. Take care and God bless.

I'm always thinking of you. I was going to personally write but I thought you might need your space right now. At least everything is going in the right direction.

... that the scans did not show what was suspected. You may have any number of things going on, and a specialist is probably a good way to go for something that is out of the ordinary.

Hope this allows you to rest a little easier for now, and enjoy the summer with your family.

Take care of yourself, but I think you can be allowed ONE great chocolate dessert!

Dear Steph,
What a wonderful idea. angel girl...I will go for a big square of chocolate straight away! (Becky; how are the omega 3's and 6's in really dark chocolate?!)

but I think dark chocolate is only loaded with antioxidants and not much Omega 3.

Love and hugs

and hope that you will get continued good news, and some answers, from the specialist. You've definitely earned the chocolate...really dark chocolate IS loaded with good polyphenols but aside from that is very healing to the soul!
Thanks for the update, and keep us posted if you can
