Susan,
Nine years ago, my precious new grandaughter was diagnosed with hypophasphatasia
(rare bone disease) after seeing many, many different doctors. The situation
was similar, as their bodies do not assimilate calcium and they are prone
to mico fractures. I began my quest for information. This led me into field
of natural healing and I have a Nutritional clinic in Scottsdale and see
people with every kind of problem and disease who have been given up on.
By the way, my grandchildren are the jewels in my crown and ring my joy
bells on a daily basis and are doing wonderful. May God continue to Bless
you as you are a Blessing to so many people.

Sadly my mother died of carcinoid syndrome in 1990 in England. It affected
her liver but it took 10 years before she was diagnosed and it was my sister,a
nurse who did some research and took her findings to the doctor. My mother
had numerous tests in various hospitals in England and finally saw a visting
Amercan specialist in London, sadly it was too late to do anything as her
liver was seriously affected by this time. I worry sometimes that carcinoid
syndrome is hereditary as I have some strange symptoms which have been
put down to peri menopause. Your site has some wonderful information and
I have bookmarked it. Take care and look after yourself. Kind regards,
Moira

I am so glad to have found this Web Sight. It Is especially pleasing to
hear the stories such as yours who have managed to overcome this terrible
disease. I felt I needed to sign your book as I am looking for some information
mainly for my grandmother who was diagnosed with the disease over a year
ago and told she was living on borrowed time, but she's still here! At
the moment she is awaiting some treatment but we all feel that we dont
know enough about Neuroendocrine Carcenoid which is what she has.
If you have any information you could send me my email address is -
mlittle@bond.co.uk
Or If anyone else has had this specific type of carcenoid and can tell
me anything about it it would make me very happy.
Thankyou.

I have learned a lot from your web-site. I was diagnosed with carcinoid
after an emergency appendectomy in late August, 1999. The carcinoid is
in my liver with "too many spots to count" according to my doctor. One
of the spots in three inches across. We have started the Sandostatin. Do
you know if there is a specialist in this area?

I was diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma if Feb, 1999 and later diagnosed
with a carcinoid tumor. After several tests prior, everything came up negative.
I had lost approx. 40 lbs (165-127 lbs.). The tumor was found via a sigmoid.
I would like to talk with you more in detail and share my story. My work
email is "BRAMEA@MTA.NET", Mon-Fri, 7-4:30 p.m. I look forward to hearing
from you in the near future. PS I was truly blessed by your "Carcinoid

Susan, I'm a three year breast cancer survivor. I'm the one who told you
that a port would make your life easier. I lost my best friend to adeno
carcinoid after a 19 month fight. Her name was Suzanne Spurrier and she
was the director of Harding University Library. Hers started in the appendix
and was inoperable in the pancreas. My best wishes to you! I left the support
group when she died.

Thanks for the information. I have had unexplained right side pain for
years and the doctors still cannot tell me what it is. I am not sure if
I should bring this possibility up or not. I have not lost weight but gained
and cannot lose. So maybe I am looking for an answer where there isn't
one. But what got me was the red face, neck and shoulders. I get that a
lot. Not everyday but often enough to be worrisome. I thought I was going
through my change. Again I thank you for your information as I had never
heard of this disease before.

A dear friend of mine was diagnoised with carcinoid cancer in May and they
haven't given her a very good prognosis. She is fighting her way through,
but the mystery of this disease is puzzling to her. She doesn't have a
computer, thought I would look up things for her and mail to her.
She is eager for any help she can get. Thanks

Hi Susan,
I'm Sheryl. I was diagnosed a couple weeks ago when a carcinoid
tumor was found in the appendix. Further tests have revealed that
there are 3 more in the liver.
Haven't seen a specialist yet, There are no carcinoid specialist
in AK. I'm considering going to the Mayo Clinic in AZ.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your articles. It's provided me with more info than
other sources. There doesn't seem to be alot out there regarding
the liver that I've found so far.
My prayers are with you and other friends out there fighting
this battle.
Sheryl

I was diagnosed in Aug.98 when 1\2 of my left lung was removed. The tumor
was a-typical and now it appears to have spread to the lynph nodes at my
cancer site. I am in constant pain and feel like giving up. You have a
great source of information, wish my doctors had seen it years ago. Thank-you.

Susan,
Thank you so much for your wonderful informative web page. My husband
was diagnosed last year after having many of the symptons you mentioned.
It took three emergency trips to the hospital and no one wanted to
do surgery. Finally on the fourth with my hucband in terrific pain, I demanded
that
they at least do a medical scope. Boy were they surprised. Gangrene
had kill the area of the small intestine near the stomach and they removed
3 feet of
small intestines. Then they found the cancer. Since then we have had
excellent treatment at the Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa. He is now on
the LARS injection
and interferon. He still has tiredness but no pain. As you say every
day is a blessing.
My prayers are with you.

I was dianosed with Accute lymphocytic Leukemia at the age of 4. I went
through chemotherapy and my hair fell out. I feel because of my illness
I didn't have a normal or typical childhood but my parent tried there best
to make it seem so. I remember one thing in particular I used to do to
make my parents laugh. When we would travel in the car I would wait for
a car to be along side us and I remove my wig. The passengers in the other
car would be awstruck. You have inspired me to add a page to my wed site
explain my triumph over cancer. I have been in remission since I was 7,
it has been 14 years!
Thank you so much
you are a remarkable women

Susan I have known you for years and met you at the Florida conference.
I have visited this webpage many times and have emailed you to tell you
how great it is but just wanted to put it in your guest book. I still say
you are a remarkable woman. I do not know how you did all of this research
while fighting carcinoid and breast cancer. You have such a positive attitude.
This has helped so many people.
I also did not realize that there were so many more who have signed
your book and are just lurking. I was reading some of your messages. I
hope everyone feels comfortable enough to just jump right in.
For the record I am a bronchial carcinoid. Rt lung removed in 1988 and
still fighting.

I have a carcinoid tumor in my left lung and will be having surgery in
2 weeks. I had my biopsy of the tumor and lymph nodes, but I haven't heard
any results yet. I am having a sleeve ressection and my left lower lobe
removed. Do you know anyone who has had similar surgery that I may talk
to (Email)? If you do, please Email me. P.S. I grew up in Tucson.

I was diagnosed in 1991 at the age of 35, have taken chemo
off and on since then. Never had any of the pain you talk about. I
went to the Dr. when I started flushing after I ate. Was diagnosed in July
of 1991,5HIAA was 125, Ct scan showed many spots, and liver biopsy confirmed
the diagnosis.
Have been on Sandostatin the whole time and it is a miracle drug ,
but very expensive. My disease has unfortunately progressed, started back
on chem June 15,1999, will do another Ct scan in November and go from there.
My children were 12 and twins that were 9 when diagnosed, I am very thankful
that I have seen my oldest graduate from High School and the twins are
now in the 11th grade. Glad I finally got a computer and found other people
with carcinoid syndrome. Thank You

Susan, It's been a long time since I visited your homepage, what a great
job you have done.
My e-mail system crashed last week and I lost approx 3 weeks of mail
so I haven't kept up with
the discussion list. Just installed my new computer and e-mail address
so now I can get back
on line. My ISP also gave me web space so maybe it's time to tell my
story. If I get that far
I will send you my url. Keep up the good work and stay healthy. I wanted
to attend the
conference in San Fran but Judy & I are leaving this week for an
anniversary cruise. Soory, the
cruise comes first.
Good luck.

Dear Susan,
It was a delight to find your website. My husband was diagnosed with
a carcinoid tumor in his left bronchus in March 1999. Surgery was needed
and a resection of the lower lobe was done. But right after the diagnosis
(which we had never heard of carcinoid cancer) I went straight to the internet
to become informed and I found your website. From there I was able to contact
Sloan and Kettering thru telephone and Dr. Richard Werner by e-mail and
Monica Werner was so very helpful to call me with information
on the subject. I pray you are doing well and our best regards to you
and your husband. Thank you so very much. Gratefully, Bernard and Jerry
Diekhoff

I found your webpage to be very informative and helpful. Thanks for all
the research, I have learned more about my disease from you than from the
doctors. I am under the care of Dr. Lowell Anthony (New Orleans) and he
is very supportive and kind. Keep up the good work that you are doing.

Dear Ms. Anderson-
It was a delight to "surf into" your page. I found it while doing some
research on metastatic gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor. Our cancer center
has a patient information center that contains a number of PCs and full-time,
trained personnel to help our patients and caregivers
surf their way to a better understanding of their illness. Be assured
I will bring your page to their attention tomorrow.

Thanks for all your hard work on "carcinoid". My husband DX. in June with
small intestine surgery in July. Doing fine now. To have 3 mo.(5-HIAA)
test and colonoscopy every 6 mo. Found on routine colonoscopy by gastroenterologist
bright enough to check further into small bowel to biopsy inflammed area.
Thank goodness. Also spread to lymph nodes near area. These removed as
well. Took out about 20 inches of small bowel. Oncologist tells us "NOT
TO WORRY". He said it so many time on last visit that I think maybe we
should worry. We have most positive attitude but I sure would like to have
as much information as I can find. Appreciate your hard work and hope that
you are doing fine. May God continue to Bless You. Maybe we can talk again.

My son age 26 has been diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer and just had 8"
of small intestine removed . There were two carcinoids, one large enough
to cause a blockage. He was diagnosed 4 years ago after having severe abdominal
pains, and it was found that he had many on his liver. The doctors have
been un-able to locate the primary tumor.
He is a college graduate with a degree in Computer Design and works
at Nevada Power.
I am very glad to see that there is a place that we can go to get information.
Thanks

I was recently diagnosed with carcinoid found during an emergency appendectomy.
It has metastisized to the liver, approximately 10-12 spots could be seen
during surgery. I am now awaiting results of the CT Scan and the 24-hour
urine testing. I have been trying to read to get as much info as possible.
This is all very new to me. I am not even aware of how knowledgable my
oncologist is in Carcinoid. I have a lot of research to do, but am currently
awaiting original test results.

I too have been having RLQ pain. I have had my appendix removed (completely
abscessed and necrotic). After having the appendix removed I started with
fevers, fatigue and increased pain. CT showed cysts-felt to be ovarian,
ultrasound was normal. Finally they decided to do an arteriogram. The arteriogram
showed a 2x4 cm lesion along the superior mesenteric artery-dx suggestions
were lymphoma or carcinoid tumor. None of the docs seem to know where to
go from here because the CT was relatively normal. I found your story interesting
because I am feeling a lot of the same frustration you did while trying
to find a diagnosis and get treatment. I am having trouble even getting
the docs to give more pain medication stronger than naprosyn. Keep up the
good work with the web site.

A few days ago a Doctor told me that I had 2400 CEA's in my
body! On my question of what is it? He said, well non smokers
have about 3 and smokers about 6. So, he went on I think you
have a few too manY!!! Understatement of the century.
Since he still did not explain to me what it is, I started to
surf the web for enlightement and this is how I fell onto
your page and all over sudden do not feel as lonely anymore.
Thanks

Hi Susan! Just discovered your home page tonight. What a blessing!!! I
have been DESPERATELY trying to find SOMEONE, ANYONE who also has had sweats
with carcinoid. They can't find any tumor and yet I have been diagnosised
with carcinoid syndrome and have been on Sandostatin for about 2 years.
Have you known or heard of ANYONE who has all the symptoms of carcinoid
syndrome but they couldn't find the tumor???
My husband and I grew up in Phoenix and left Chandler in 1988 to come
back to Calif. Tempe is a nice place and I went to ASU but I don't think
we could take the heat anymore...we're wimps! :) I've really enjoyed your
homepage and it's given me so much information and I thank you for that.
:)

Best wishes to you from Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. I am about to start a Ph.D.
in information management/multimedia looking into the situation of paediatric
cancer patients in here in Wales - and joined some cancer mailing lists
in the USA to see how you do things as we are _way_ behind. I have read
your story and some parts made me angry for you (in the nicest possible
way). I wholly believe that we must maintain a positive and balanced attitude
to every challenge in life - and believe you have cracked it!! :)
Thank you for your pages. I hope it was OK that I read them as I
am fortunate enough not to be a casualty of cancer. I am lost for words
to say how I admire what you do and have done. I am sending a warm smile
and a virtual handshake... Gill

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January, 1998 and underwent a lumptectomy,
chemotherapy and radiation. This week I was told that I had a carcinoid
tumor and am just beginning to learn about it. I hope that I can keep the
same positive attitude that you have, but there are days when it's pretty
scary. I'll learn more about my condition over the next few days, as I
have several tests to schedule. I have not shared this latest diagnosis
with my mother. We just lost my dad and I didn't want to worry her until
I have more knowledge. However, my children know and have been great support.
Thanks for your story.

I found your story very informative. You should be proud of the research
you have done, I am so new at this. I don't even know about the tests,
terminology, etc. yet. I am sure it won't be long until I am familiar with
all of it. Thank you for taking the time and the effort to put all this
together. I am so hungry for information about this cancer, I want to learn
all I can. Thank you.

Susan, thank you for all the work you have done and continue to do. I so
hope to get to a seminar so I can meet you. For readers..I had my first
carcinoid in 1983 and am still working 40 hours per week...just recently
on LAR20 and really doing pretty good except for tiredness. Have mets to
the liver with a lot of involvement, but no other treatments planned at
this time. THERE IS HOPE!!! I have had this disease now for 16 years that
we know of so please keep faith that you will keep making yourself going
and don't dwell on the negative. That's what I try to do. I also find great
comfort in beautiful music. Good health to all. Thank you Susan!!!

Dear Susan,
I was very happy to run into your web site. My mom was diagnosed
with carcinoid tumor in Feb 1998. She underwent surgery but
the tumor is back in the liver and the posterior abdominal
wall.
I have been in touch with Dr. Warner and he has
suggested an oncologist at Cedars Sinai. I am curious to
know how your visit with Dr. Warner went? Would you say it
was the turning point in the management of your case? I am thinking
of taking my mom to see Dr. Warner. Please feel free to ask
any questions or make suggestions - my mom lives wih her
brother in Corona, CA (60 miles East of LA). I hope you are
feeling better and wish you good health.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Nik Doshi

Your story was very informative. We found Dr. Warner two weeks after my
diagnosis with Carcinoid Cancer...a lucky hit. He referred me to Dr. Larry
Kvols of UNM Health Science Center in Albuquerque, recently joined the
Moffitt Cancer Research and Treatment Group in Tampa, Fla. Surgery for
removal of part of lower intestine, colon, and liver was done at St. Joseph
Hospital by Dr Peter deIpolyi in May of 1998. Post treatment two daily
Sandostatin Injections until May 1999 when I started LAR. Will see Dr.
Kvols in Tampa in November. Concur with your opinion of Dr. Warner and
the Carcinoid Foundation. Laurie G.

I am trying to find out some information on the treatment of Neuro-endocrine
cancer for my cousin Ruby Burkett who has been dealing with it for 6 years.
She is about at the end of her rope emotionally and I just thought that
maybe I could find something to encourage her or maybe even something new
about treatment for it. She is currently being treated for it at the Moffit
Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida under the care of Lodovicco Balducci, her
oncologist. I read your story and it's very different than her's but I
wish she could have your outlook! Thank you for writing it all down, it
was very inspiring to me.

I had two carcinoid tumors removed from my small bowel in
1995. I find myself showing symptoms of carcinoid syndrome.
Did you ever experience severe joint pain? I'm currently in
the process of trying to find a physician. I've contacted the
James Cancer Center in Columbus Ohio for a referral. I was
glad to find your site, its loaded with lots of good info.
Thanks for sharing!!!

What a marvelous website you have! After reading your story
it is clear that you are one amazing person. The mother of
my daughter's college roommate was diagnosed with carcinoid
this week & I am trying to do research for her. You have
helped alot with the information here. Also this week my
mother in law was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since I'm
a nurse, they all turn to me for information. Thank you for
your help. I wish you well in your ongoing fight with cancer. I hope
I have your strength & positive attitude if
ever I am faced with what you have been. God bless you.

Have just found your website and am thrilled at what all I
have read today. I would have loved to have been in Flordia in March.
I was first diagonosed with carcinoid in November of 1990 and have been
fighting ever since.
Thanks for you interest, Barbara

Susan, I read "your story" after I sent you the E-mail message. Thanks
for all the info in "your Story" which is very similar to mine. Your experince
with interferon was very helpful. I was sorry to hear about the breast
cancer but glad to see you are taking it in stride, I guess we become hardened
by the carcinoid trial we have been through. Keep up the fight our thoughts
and prayers are with you.>

I found your story very interesting! My carcinoid was discovered on my
liver during gallbladder surgery in December 1996. Another surgery in March
1997 and the primary source was found in the ilium section of my small
intestine. My liver had too much metatasis to be removed. So, we are just
watching it. So far my liver function is normal as well as my blood tests.
I do have diarrhea I never had prior and don't know if it is a result of
intestinal surgery or carcinoid. So far I have had no treatment at all
except for the surgery.

I have just completed testing at Rochester Mayo Clinic and they removed
a 3cm polyp. The diagnosis: Duodenum, bulb, endoscopic biopsy: Carcinoid
(grade 1 neuroendocrine). Comment: In immunoperoxidase stains performed
on paraffin-embedded tissue sections, the neoplastic cells stained strongly
and diffusely for chromogranin and focally for gastrin. I will be returning
in 3 days for more testing. I appreciate your NetPage for the information
on Carcinoid. If you know of another site or an area on your site to go
to for information about my specific diagnosis and comment, I would appreciate
hearing from you. Thanks so much!! Signe

I have been struggling with symptoms for years. Dr.'s have found high levels
of somatostatin and are suspecting carcinoid. Doctors here are very uninformed
about it and I am trying to learn more. One symptom which I suffer from
in addition to fatigue and flushing is severe itching and burning over
my entire body. Have you heard of this being a symptom? No one has been
able to determine the cause or provide any relief including doctors at
Vanderbuilt University and Mayo Clinic in 1993-94. Any help or advice you
could give would be appreciated. My address is 10850 W. Treeline Ct., Boise,
ID 83713. Phone # 208-376-7530

I enjoyed your web page, very informative. I had a hard time finding info
on Goblet Cell Carcinoid until finding Carcinoid.org's web site. I will
know more about my condition after an appointment tomorrow. I am recovering
from a hysterectomy and appendectomy. Through tests the goblet cell was
found in my appendix.

My husband was diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome 1 year ago. I very much
enjoyed your story, and your optomistic outlook. I try to remind my husband
that he's living with carcinoid not dying with it. Maybe reading your article
will uplift his spirits. Thank you for your strength.

Susan, This is truly a remarkable page. I read it when I was first diagnosed
with carcinoid. Now that I am not so sure what was going on again I decided
to read your updated homepage. Thanks so much for your wonderful attitude
which inspires so many of us when we get tired of fighting this disease.
You truly give me a lift.

Congratulations on the Sanger Award. Your tenacity for
overcoming mountains shines through in all you do/share.
Be proud of yourself! I have known of this cancer but
had never researched it. Your informative reports are
enjoyable. I've always believed in acquiring knowledge,
and have loved the internet as a fantastic heap of
resources waiting to be absorbed. A friend who
suffered/died long ago was only diagnosed after the
autopsy, she insisted upon. She was made to believe
her symptoms were in her head. The physician's,
"I'm so sorry.", was of little comfort to her
family/friends. Bless you for sharing your
story/research and this wonderful site.

Great story about your experience with carcinoid. I had a carcinoid tumor
on my appendix 4 years ago. Doctors did a right hectomory (?). Just last
week, my urologist did a ctscan and found a desity on my liver. I'm quite
nervous. I have a doctor appt. on July 6th to get a referral to a liver
specialist. Wish me luck.

Thank you for your candid comments, which I am sure are helping a lot of
people (patients and health care "professionals") learn more about this
rare condition. I am a medical writer associated with Sandostatin Injection
and Sandostatin LAR Depot... so it is important for me to be able to convey
in my writing the terrible impact that carcinoid syndrome can have on patients.
Unfortunately, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis are all too common. Thank
you again for the service you are providing. Good luck to you! Tina Bashline

I simply want to say thank you for taking time to share your story. I had
never heard ofcarcinoid cancer, until my sister was diagnosed with it.
She is undergoing surgery as I write this for the complete removal of her
colon. Your information and references will prove to be a great help to
our family. God bless you and keep you in good health.
Sincerly,

My husband has had stomach problems (pain & diarrhea) for years &
has had CT's of Abdomen, Ultrasounds, Upper GI, Colonoscopy, & 5-HIAA
Urine test. All normal! He has flushing episodes too. He's changed doc's
many times & now has a doctor who seems determined to get to the bottom
of this with us. She suggested Octreoscan to confirm diagnosis of Carcinoid.
I've been so scared about this.Wouldn't something have shown up on one
of the other tests if he has a carcinoid tumor? When I read your guest
book entries, I became more hopeful to see that many people have had this
for up to 18 yrs & more! Is this a normal range or are these people
considered miracles? I'm so scared at what lies ahead for my husband. Good
luck to you.

records to Dr. Warner. Reading your story has reinforced that I am doing

Along with inflammatory arthritits, fibromyalgia, high sugar, asthma--this
syndrome fits my other symptoms. Are these illnesses often found together?

This registration is for my mother, Pat May (Wichita, KS), age 65, who
two days ago went in for a hysterectomy. When the doctors got in there,
they noticed tumors on her small intestine. They turned out to be carcinoid,
about a dozen of them, and removed 3 feet of her small intestine. There
was also another place lower on the intestine with a grouping of tumors,
which they removed. She, nor any member of our family has ever had cancer.
We are very anxious to learn more about this and would appreciate any resources
you could direct us to. God bless you for initiating this website!

Thanks for your excellent site which was & is truly a "shining star"
since learning of my carcinoid cancer in Jan. '99. Would be especially
interested in hearing from anyone who also has the variant referred to
as "presacral" Mine has metastases in the skeletal system. Current Rx is
Sandastatin LAR & Interferon-alpha 2B.

Hi! My Dad is in the hospital being tested. Found carcinoid polyp in his
colon, we a waiting for liver biopsy info. My Mom has asked me to begin
researching treatment options. Dr does not think it is actually the "syndrome"
yet it is a carcinoid. Any direction you can give would be appreciated.
Your site is a good start for me! Blessings, Kimberly<><
Sorry we missed the Sarasota event, I have a brother there.

My mother was diagnosed with carcinoic cancer in March of 1997. She now
weighs 73 pounds. She has received no treatment but Sandostatin. Would
you be interested in writing to my mother? We have searched everywhere
for some treatment. She has even taken Shark Cartlidge. I believe that
she would love to hear from you. Let me know.
Thank you!! Rae

Thank you for taking the time to share this information. I was diagnosed
with Carcinoid Syndrome in August 1998. I had a tumor removed from my colon
and have been giving myself shots of Sando 3X a day until last month I
started the LAR. Have not been doing as well. I am new to the internet
and have only just begun to find info on Cardinoid and people to talk to
about it. This is opening up a whole new world to me and I am grateful
for people like you who are there to support others.

Thank you for all of the valuable information on your web site. I have
taken the long way 'round to discovering I have carcinoid. The doctors
first dx all my heart problems and I went through a multitude of tests
and tried to learn all I could about heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
Now I have been diagnosed with carcinoid in addition. I have been studying
as fast as I can to learn about this. Your site not only gives information
but adds the human touch/the contact with someone else going through this
that I have greatly needed. Thanks

I was diagnosed with lung carcinoid May, 1997. One third of my right lung
was removed, but the cancer had metasisized to one of the lymph nodes.
Normally this tpe of cancer only responds to surgery, but since it had
metasisized, I was given chemotherapy of etopiside and cystplatin. I developed
a swelling above my left collarbone five months ago. CT scans reveal small
masses, but too small and location makes it impossible to biopsy. I need
a docotr who specializes in carcinoids. Ironically, I live 30 miles from
Sarasota, but never heard about the Seminar. Any info you could provide
re carcinoid doctors would be appreciated. Rosemarie age 55

My husband has had carcinoid syndrome since 1995. He is so thin. 6ft2in
and only weights 135. He gets very cranky and sleepy. Is the sleepiness
part of the disease? He takes 100 mg morphine AM and PM to control the
pain and Imodium for the diarrea. He can still eat three meals a day and
gets around. Most of the problem is the sleepiness and he can't stay awake
after dinner. Glad to find this web site. Maybe I can find some answers.
I have read alot about this disease in the last few years. It is very slow
growing and there is no treatment. Just alot of prayer!

my mother has been diagonosed with carcinoid. originall site was the appendix,
it is metatsatic, stage 4 or advanced,she is only 60 years old. my family
is in shock and we have been told she only has a 10-15% chance of beating
this. i have been doing a lot of research but have not found any concrete
stats on carcinoid survival rates. we have also been told that the chemo
drugs like sandostatin are only 15-20% effective. your story is an inspiration
in this sea of doom. i would love to hear from you. thank you and god bless.

I have had pain in my LRQ along with strange hormone-like reactions (low
blood-sugar, inability to tolderate ANY kind of stimulant from caffine
to chocolate) for the past 15 years and have told every Dr. I've ever seen
about it -- to no avail. I still don't know what this pain is but it acts
up and makes me weak. In the past month, I've started having ongoing diarrhea.
Am going to a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy. It seems most my symptoms
match many of those of a carcinoid. Since I live alone, I'm scared. That's
why your story gave me hope. Tomorrow I leave for Phoenix on a business
trip. I will try to contact you. Thank you again!!! Gerry Williams (I'm
female)

Susan,
Thank you so much for all of your insightful information on carcinoid
tumors. I recently went to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa Florida with
my mother on 5-3-99 to find out the treatment for her carcinoid tumors.
The oncologist suggested sandostatin for my mothers condition and said
surgery is not an option, which I find rather frustrating after everything
i have read about carcinoid tumors. I would like to know if you have any
suggestions on where my mother should go for a second opinion? Do you know
anything about the Sandostatin Lar treatment? I have to say i am extremely
baffled at the fact the doctor seems to think surgery is not an option.
Please if you have any additional information send me an e-mail. Thankyou
so much for all your info on this disease. Goodluck and Godbless.
Stephanie Hurley

My mother-in-law had her first carcinoid tumor removed in Feb. 93 and has
had 4 surgeries since. I am looking for any useful infomation and I sure
found some here. Thanks for providing help and reassurance to others who
are suffering this awful disease. Good luck to you and your family.

My son, age 36, is seeing an oncologist in Omaha this week, but I do not
know how experienced she is with carcinoid. What questions should he ask
of her? Also, do you know of any carcinoid specialists in Omaha (or in
the Midwest)?
Thanks, Kathy

I enjoyed reading your web page and comments from others. I recently had
a lung removed because of carcinoid tumor and because of the location,
1/5 of my atrium also had to be removed. Doctors removed 19 lymph nodes,
and only one node showed carcinoid cancer cells. I have an appointment
with the University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL within the next week,
and hopefully they will find a treatment that will "kill" the remaining
cells. If I find a new treatment, I will let you know. Thanks for the web
information, and may God bless you in your fight against this strange type
of cancer.

I have had the top lobe of my right lung removed because it contained a
Carcinoid tumor. The tumor was contained, and the lymph nodes were not
malignant. PTL
I still suffer from fatigue and severe night sweats, which I think
is connected to the tumor but can't prove.
Do any of your contacts have experience with these ongoing conditions,
and has anyone found a relief?

Hello, my very good dear friend has been fighting these tumors for over
28 years - she now has it in her liver & the last chemo just about
killed her & it didnt touch the tumors. I'm trying to find other alternatives
for her to try. She has been so very brave through all of this but she
has said no more chemo/but she's not ready to die yet. I'm not trying to
force anything on her/just want to give her & her doctor maybe new
choices. Thank you for this Web-site. I told Deneal that she should get
a computor/there's alot of info to get out of it. I'm mailing your letter
to her tonite. Again thank you..... connie

I am the daughter of a carcinoid fighter who is deeply private. I am trying
to research it on my own to have a better understanding. I went to www.europeonline.com
and looked for search engines there. I found www.savvysearch.com and looked
up carcinoid bone cancer and marked the "and" option. Eventually I ended
up here. Savvy Search uses many search engines at one time so it saves
the researcher time. Another one is Search Spaniel. Thanks for your story!!

Thank you so much for your web site. I was diagnosed with lung carcinoid
disease in May 1998. I had 2 thirds of the right lung removed in June 1998,
but recently learned that the carcinoid has spread to the area outside
of the lungs. Thanks again for sharing your story and research with so
many! Good luck and God Bless.

I think the effort you have put into developing this web site is commendable.
I have a young female friend (34) who is having to deal with a possible
diagnosis of Carcinoid Syndrome. She is going for an octreoscan in April
and was unable to find much information about the disease, especially diagnosis
and prognosis. I have forwarded your web site on to her as I believe it
will help her get what she needs. Your links are outstanding. I wish you
continued strength in your personal battle with this disease. Thank you
again.

I had carcinoid tumors in small intestine removed in 1995 also. Six feet
of intestine and lymph nodes also removed. Diahrrhea is the only remaining
chronic problem, although I have started having stomach "attacks" again
periodically (every six months) which last about 24-48 hours. Your site
was helpful as it has been hard to decide what, if anything, should be
done. Doctors say that as long as I'm feeling well, nothing needs to be
done. Have blood & urine tests 2x a year and the levels keep going
up. After reading your story, it sounds like more tests are warranted.

Reading you web page has been very helpful to me. My brother has been recently
diagnosed wth carcinoid cancer. He has recently been seeing a Dr. at Brigham
and Womans Hosp. in Boston. This past week he spent 2 days having the
nuclear dye tests. He is very discouraged because the Dr.
have not found the cancer yet. He and his wife are very upset . He has
been having the flushing symptoms for the last 2 years. He is feeling very
frustrated because it has taken 2 years to find this out. I am trying to
encourage him to go to N.Y and see a specialist. I would like to hear back
from you if you have any advise you can offer. May God bless.
Thanks,
Anne

A very good friend of mine recently diagnosed with carcinoid by liver biopsy.
I have been looking for and finding info for him--in addition to what his
oncologist is giving him. Appreciate very much your web page and your "Story"
which I will pass on to him. It is as informative as it is inspirational.
I am retired from family practice of medicine for 11 years. The only experience
I have had with carcinoid tumor was incidental finding at appendectomy.
I am not very computer literate as yet so don't know if this will get to
you as I don't know how to send it.

My mother (age 79) was diagnosed in Nov. 1997 with Carcinoid. She has numerous
liver tumors although another (primary) site was not found. She was fortunate
to have a family doctor who was able to diagnose her condition soon after
she started to exhibit symptoms. She is being treated at the Cross Clinic
in Edmonton, AB with good results using MIBG therapy. Thank you for your
efforts to help and support others with this disease and their families.

Susan,
I am so grateful that you have provided your personal story.
My father was diagnosed with carcinoid cancer in the spring of 1996.
So far, he has taken a passive role in finding out what can be
done and how to reduce the amount of pain he is chronically experiencing.
I think the problem with him being so passive, is that no one has really
taken an interest (serious) in him ie. sitting down with him to explain
what
is going on, pain management strategies, lifestyle changes (eg. increasing
physical activity,
eating patterns).
I would appreciate if you would e-mail me (when you have time) to help
me and my family go about
getting the info. and care that we need.
Thank you,
Sharon

I am 21yrs old and my Valentine gift was a Carcinoid lung tumor diagnose.
March 8th I had a left lung lobectomy. My first doctor just kind of threw
this in my lap without any info. My aunt let me use her computer and I
found some facts before surgery. My recovery is going well. I found your
website and it is very interesting. You have organized a lot of useful
info. I will visit this site again.
Thanks,
Jennifer A. Teeter

So happy to discover all the info on carcinoid. I first was diagnosed with
lung carcinoid, removed lung and kidney. Last summer was diagnosed with
it in my liver. Have received chemo-embolization in Sept and was injecting
Sandostaton 3 times daily. Three weeks ago I started the monthly injections
at the James Cancer Center in Colombus, Ohio. Besides all that, I have
had two kidney transplants. The last one was nine years ago. With all the
chemo and all the recent treatments for carcinoid, it has not affected
my transplanted kidney in any damaging way. I am very confident about the
future and pleased to have found all your information. Thanks for the support!!

God has answered my prayers once again!! I have been preparing my self
for dying when there is hope and help out there for patients with Carcinoid.
I have Carcinoid of the liver - secondary but no primary has been found.
Four months ago I began having the GI symptoms you have had. I am so weak
now and have lost almost 50 pounds in 6 months, I have no appetite. I have
so much here to read and learn about. I would love to correspond with anyone.
We can all use a new friend in our life. Please email me at the above address.
Thank you again....Vickie

I've had Carcinoid cancer since 1992. I've done everything imaginable to
control it - surgery, chemo, total body radiation - and didn't seem to
have any luck with anything. Last September I had a ruptured bowel and
during surgery no tumors were seen or detected. This is confusing to the
medical 'professionals', but I'm taking it as it is. I don't know if I'm
'cured', but I consider myself in remission. For the first time in 8 years
I can actually plan for a future. The internet group has provided much
useful information, and some friends who understand the problems of this
disease. I hope to be able to attend the next seminar...I think I can teach
the 'professionals' a thing or two!! I've been called the 'miracle girl'
more than once, and plan to keep it that way!

I was just diagnosed with malignant carcinoid tumors (2) three weeks ago
Tomorrow,
I will go to The Lombardi Cancer Center, part of Georgetown University
near Washington D.C..
I am very frightened and really need people to communicate with me.
My tumors are in my stomach and I have some sort of lesion on my liver.
I have some symptoms
of Carcinoid Syndrome but not all. I am 48, have 3 sons, a wonderful
husband, and am a retired
Kindergarten teacher. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia almost 2 1/2
years ago and could not
teach any longer. We will be relocating to Jackson, Mississippi by
June of this year. I would
appreciate correspondence and would like to have copies of information
received from the Carcinoid
seminar in Sarasota and news of further seminars.

My Son met you at the symposium in Sarasota last week and suggested I get
in touch with you. I was hospitalized for small bowel obstruction and they
found the carcinoid problem, so I was not able to attend the symposium
with him. Perhaps we could meet over the computer?

Thank you for writing such an indepth story.
When someone is diagnosed with such a "rare" illness the prospects
can be scary. My sister-in-law was recently diagnosed with carcinoid after
hacing four years of intense flushing. Everyone kept telling her it was
just stress. Even her doctors.
Well, thank you again for your time and story. I look forward to hearing
from you. Good luck and stay well.

quickly. I hope we have the success you have. Thank you for developing

I have looked at your site before and I thought I had previously signed
your guestbook. My husband is 48 and was diagnosed this pass summer with
carcinoid. We have two children, 6 & 9. He has had terrible reaction
to Sandostatin. Currently, he is undergoing 5-FU Leucovorin once a week
but his pain is incredible. I have been searching for months to communicate
with anyone else who is in the same situation. Thanks for being there.
I am going to start e-mail with some of the other guests. Please e-mail
us. We all need to support each other!
Stay strong, Ellen

I am glad to find your web site. There is so much information.
I will look forward to going through all of it. My carcinoid was
found in a primary site of a Meckel's diverticulum in the bowel.
It had moved to the liver. This discovery was made in March of 1981
Its been a long trip. Most of my help has come from Mayo Clinic
in MN. Last embolisim was in '95. I am beginning to have
an increase in symptoms and want to investigate any new
help that is available. Thank you.

I was diagnosed with Carcinoid in September 1995. I had three small tumors
removed in my small intestine and one tumor removed in a lymph node. Two
of seven lymph nodes tested were positive. I am monitored very closely
with quarterly serum serotonin tests and yearly CT and Octreotide scans.
I drank Essiac tea for over two years. Look up Eassiac on the internet
for more info.

Thanks for all the information. My mom, age 65 was diagnosed with carcinoid
cancer 2-1/2 years ago. Went through a tough first year, but fought back
and was doing great these last 1-1/2 years. It is active again on her bladder,
and she is going to MD Anderson in Texas to see if they have any other
suggestions, as to how to treat.
My prayers will include you each night, along with my mom.
Thanks for the wonderful web site. I am sure I will visit it again.

Susan, I just found and read your story. My husband has been diagnosed
this summer with carcinoid. He is undergoing 5FU-leukovoran, sandostatin
shots & he is having a rough time of it all. I have tried to contact
the Carcinoid support group before with no success. I would really like
to be able to converse with someone who has been in the same boat. Thanks!

Susan - Finding your web site tonight has been wonderful. I found out two
days ago that I have "neuro-endocrine" tumors in my liver and we suspect
they are carcinoids because of my symptoms (flushing, mild diarrhea, etc.)
Still going through the tests to find out exactly what this is and then
decide a course of treatment. Your story has inspired me to be agressive
about getting to the right oncologists now - not later having spent a lot
of time with someone who admits he sees "2-3" of these per year. Thanks
for all your work! I'll be back for sure!

Our daughter has carcinoid, She was operated on one year ago and a large
tumor was removed. Its been told that she has many small ones and thus
far none are believed to be in her vital organs. She was on three shots
per day of Sandosatin for many months, and seemed to do fair. However she
has had a rough time geting her diareaha under control Two months ago she
was taken off the sandosatin and since then has pains under her left rib
cage, which soon they plan to do another scan of..Her attitude is good
and she feels her doctor with the limited knowledge he has on carcinoid
is doing the best he can..He also reviews the internet for information
I am told...Many thanks to your information you publish and the comments
from your readers...Somehow, someday perhaps we will get this terrrible
sickness under control......

I was diagnosed in 1977 with small bowel carcinoid with liver and lymph
node involvement. I've had 4 surgeries including removal of the R lobe
of my liver and part of the small bowel, colon and lymph nodes. I am not
aware of any other long term survivors who still have carcinoid.

A carcinoid was recently diagnosticted on my lever.Just completed chemio
treatments recovering from malignant lymphome.No indisposition whatsoever
from the carcinoid tumor.All X rays now completed and positive exept for
some diverticulus on the intestin. I have the choice of doing nothing and
get an expectation 5 years life or undergoing surgery, and gaining good
chances of returning to normal life. I am meeting with a surgeon in a few
days to set the agenda and the following day leaving for West Palm beach
for a three weeks vacation. vacation.They may be difficult days ehead but
by moral is still very high and hope to keep it that way. Appreciate your
help and the opportunity to comment on this mutual problem. Will be back

I was so thankful to find your web page. I had my appendix removed last
week and was told when I went bach in to have the staples removed, they
had found a carcinoid tumor. I was horrified and scared. I'm only 22 with
a 4year old and twin 3 year olds, a full time student in school, I just
didn't know what to say or ask the doctor. Being curious, I went to the
library on campus and looked up this word that I had never heard of. I
got a little bit of info, but it wasn't until I found your wonderful site
that I felt better. Thank you for the time you put into making this information
handy. God bless you.

My dad has metastatic carcinoid syndrome. They just took 50% of his small
intestine and found spots on his liver. They got the majority of the tumor
from his intestine. They are now talking about chemo therapy when he has
recovered from his surgery.I was asked to do a search on line for them
and have come across your page and thought it might be helpful.

Am currently being tested for "carcinoid Syndrome", as a result of an "anomaly"
in a 24 hour urine test. Just heard I had no abnormalities on liver (after
CT scan), or on lungs (after X ray). Your site is invaluable - I shall
return often to follow through. I am with Kaiser Permanente - anyone with
any information on Kaiser's attitude to this condition? Let me state that
my own Kaiser doctor is excellent, and Kaiser has been excellent for me
over the past 13 years! Keep up your good work!

After reading your story, I must feel very fortunate. My first flush occured
the first week of November 1998. By December 7, the primary had been located
and removed. I am now in the "wait and see" mode when a new CATScan will
be performed to check the growth on the liver. I have been on Sandostatin
since the 9th of December.

Susan,
Thank you for creating this web site. Elaine from the Pancreas Cancer
Discussion Page gave me your web site address. We have found it very difficult
to locate information on this type of tumor since it is so rare. David
is scheduled for chemoembolization surgery next week. Do you have any information
you could share with us regarding this type of surgery. Thanks, any information
you can share is greatly appreciated. Cindy

I am a 45 year old female who was just diagnosed in November 1998 with
Stage III carcinoid cancer. For 10 monts the doctors kept telling me I
had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I had emergency surgery in Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico on Thanksgiving day. It seems to be a wait and see program right
now. I am looking for an ocologist in my area with experience in this kind
of cancer and for research programs. Your web page is one of the steps
I am taking to educate myself and to seek information. Thank you for the
time you have spent putting it together and keeping it updated. This is
a scary time for me and it is comforting to know there are people out there
who understand and care.

I have just been diagnosed with Carcinoid Syndrome. I'm 39, with two children.
I'm not impressed! But, with my Lord's help and the support of my close
friends
I will work through this. Being close to Hamilton, Ontario I am being
treated, at
least initially at McMaster University Hospital - my first appointment
with the
chief surgeon is scheduled tomorrow (Monday, January 4, 1999)so I will
know more
then. I appreciate your web-site, but since I am using a friends internet
connection
I cannot spend the time to go through it completely. Thanks for the
info!! - Dave

My wife Lynn also has heavy involvement with carcinoid liver masses.
She too wasted years being treated a a "hysterical middle aged female",
had her gall badder remover, etc.
Her is almost a duplicte to your experiences
Dr Warner and his staff are all you said and more. Thank you for sharing
and we look forward from hearing more from and sharing our experiences
with others if we can be of any assistance.

Susan,
My husband was recently diagnosed with carcinoid tumors in his liver.
The primary site was never found. He is currently undergoing chemoembolization
treatments at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
I am thankful that there is a web site location where I can find updated
information. Best wishes,

Great site, very informative and encouraging. I was checking out Carcinoid
for my best friend, whose mother was just diagnosed with Carcinoid. I always
feel gaining knowledge throws at us. Thanks Alice Brown

I was diagnosed in 1/94 with a lung carcinoid. It was surgically removed.
Now, I may have another, in the other lung. I have not been able to find
any information on this, until tonight. Even though what I am reading is
scarey, it's better than nothing. It's so wonderful that people all over
the world can communicate this way, and each one seeing that so many people
can be ill and share their experiences. Thank you, and the others who wrote
in your guest book.

Susan,'
I read your story of the carcinoid cancer. What an ordeal! I
believe the net is such a wonderful place to find support and
information. Unfortunately, there is a lot of information
out there that is unsubstantiated. You have certainly done
your homework.
You have wonderful links also, I am about to check out a few
of them.

Thanks for all the help Susan. My father was diagnosed with a carcinoid
tumor in February 1995, with one lesion on his liver. He's doing ok, but
has lost some weight and has pain. He doesn't particularly like to spend
time on possible helps for his condition, so I'm trying to look into it
for him.
Reading your "journal has been good for me, and the link to the
Carcinoid Cancer Foundation invaluable. Wish there were more people like
you. Good luck and keep with the bluegrass!!!

Your page was the first usable information I found on Carcinoid tumors.
I was just diagnosed and am at a loss as to how to react. Blindness? Dementia?
Surgery? Chemo? I have no perspective yet. Thank you for providing information
in a readable, articulate way.

Just to let you know that I stopped by and read the chronology of your
medical "adventures" for the first time. Some time ago I realized that
each of us must be an integral part of our own treatment in times of illness.
You are a prime example of that. The next time there is an illness in my
family, I'm going to return and reread all you went through and overcame.
It will help.
Best wishes to you for health and happiness.

Thank you Susan for taking the time to share your story. I have had the
5-H urine test run and it came back very high. The doctor is redoing the
test. I knew about the foods to stay away from though so I suspect the
test to be the same. He has also ordered the chest exrays and a cat scan
for next week. My biggest problems are the flushes and the diarhea. Did
you have any problems with the flushes? You didn't mention them. I agree
that you have to take an active part in your own health and I also agree
a happy, positive outlook will do much. Thanks again! Donna

I will send you an "e-mail" of my case story. You've had real
problems with oncologists! The Mayo Clinic has had a two year
study on Carcinoid Syndrome Cancer and has the best referral
system (next to the NCI) for Carcinoid Oncologists in the country.
I recommend that everyCarcinoid patient have their oncologist
contact Mayo and the NCI for thelatest Carcinoid updates. Insist
on it! It's your body...not theirs! Cheers,
Lee Yazell
