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?

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.

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

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!

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 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

My e-mail system crashed last week and I lost approx 3 weeks of mail so I haven't kept up with

I will send you my url. Keep up the good work and stay healthy. I wanted to attend the

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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?

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

Savvy Search uses many search engines at one time so it saves the researcher time. Another one is Search Spaniel. Thanks for your story!! :)

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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 - 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......

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 to keep in touch.

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'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

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.

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.

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,
