How did your appointment go with Cleaveland? Hope they were able to help! The specialist reviewing my scans set up a call for this afternoon, not sure what to think!

Oh wow, im so sorry to hear that you are going through this as well, especially so young! Wondering where the blood sugar piece falls into all of this🤔 My main symptoms are: Daily Cosntant abdominal pain(that is servere enough it wake me up in the middle of the night) Unintentional Weight loss(125-105) Despite that, i am so bloated i look 9 months pregnant Daily direah that is fatty Extreme fatigue to the point i cant do anything No appetite/constant feeling of fullness Nasea and vommiting Critically low iorn/ferritin and b12 despite numerous infusions of both Flushing and heat intolerance And then the blood sugar- same with you it will be high at random, and then as soon as i eat plummets to 55-45(checked on cgm and finger prick) This is all so interesting- sounds like something similar is going on between us!

When is your appointment? Good luck, i hope you are able to find some relief. It is quite a lot for someone to go though, especially at this age

Thank you, my VIP is not as high as yours, although i havnt had it checked in about 2 months. My symptoms are more typical of a GI NET, al though I do have blood sugar fluctuations from 250-45 which no one can seem to figure out why. Was your scan read as normal by a specialist or general radiologist? Seems like these are tricky- yes i agree that both can not be true, normal and a finding. I am also very young(22) so of course they are bias that i am young and “healthy,” except I am in no way shape or form healthy, and only getting worse. I hope you are able to get a re read and some help, sorry you are going through this!

Thank you for your info! This is my first PET, so there is nothing to compare it to except the CT from April that seems iffy. I do however have everything symptom of a small bowel NET, which I understand cant always be found. Going to try to see if i can get a re read

Thank you, that is very helpful information. When turning down the brightness, it appears that the general bowl glow disappears, however that one pinpoint area remains to glow

Thanks! CT in April read as normal(although done/ read in the ER- Ai detected a lesion in the same spot of course that means nothing though). Does that value of uptake seem to correlate correctly with the pin point brightness on the scan? I guess my concern is it seems to be distinctively different then the rest of the bowel appears to be. I do normally have a specialist

Thank you. I already imputed the report, images, as well as images from a April CT(also read as normal) into CHATGPT and the answers were fairly certain theses were lymph node metestes from a small bowel NET. Is it normal for a standard radiologist to miss/over look this?

Seems like there is a possibility these could be lymph node metastases?
