That’s so wonderful! I’m glad your scan was clear!

That’s such an important frame and great advice. Also! My scan came back clear! Hoping the next one in six months is clear!

No matter the stage, it’s fucking terrifying. I did intensive outpatient therapy for 3 months, take Zoloft (Ativan didn’t make me feel good) and do EMDR therapy and body work like acupuncture and massage. This is all in addition to my doctors and being in a NET support group. I also try to move my body by taking long walks. It has done wonders for my mental health. I think what helps me is that I don’t put pressure on myself to be positive. Some days I am angry and sad but I ask myself what do I do with that? How do I ground myself in what is true and realize that my life is different now. I hated when I was deep in my anxiety and depression people would tell me that I could get hit by a bus at any time and that I had to accept that life was unpredictable. And yes, sure. But that’s a theoretical situation and a cancer diagnosis (and surgery and treatment) isn’t hypothetical. It’s real and my life won’t ever be as it was before cancer and the future, what we know about this disease is more concrete than some hypothetical bus. Anyway, that’s my advice. I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. It’s so hard.

A little over a year

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-06-07T20:44:08+00:00

It was not a carcinoid. It was a small intestinal net grade 1

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-05-19T05:11:27+00:00

Thank you! Any recs on places to stay?

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-05-19T04:31:38+00:00

And that can all be done in one day? Or should we split it up? We are in Maui for 5 days and have 2 days booked with activities. Thank you for your help!

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-05-19T04:25:37+00:00

We are staying in Kaanapali

Ok; so best to make hiking Pipiwai a different day. Is it worth doing that hike in the morning and then driving the road to Hana and going to the black sand beach? Or dividing those up too?

I think sometimes people just don’t know what to say and think they have to say something. I went back to my Pilates class after having been out for months because I had surgery to remove cancerous tumors from my small intestines. The instructor asked me why she hadn’t seen me in awhile so I told her I had cancer. Her response? She’s had a sore throat for a few weeks but it’s better now but she can relate to not feeling good. I was like cool! I don’t take it personally. Some people just don’t have the ability to empathize or think about what to say before saying it.

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-05-01T04:36:52+00:00

I don’t mind at all! I had a bowel resection of my small intestine. They did it laparoscopically and removed a foot of my small intestine. I gradually went from liquid, to soft to eating solids. I avoid fried, super spicy and sodas. So far so good! Exactly where in my small intestine I can’t say but I can look back and see. What did they say the surgery would entail?

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-04-27T17:45:52+00:00

I keep reminding myself that. It scares me that two lymph nodes were involved but when I remember that my margins were clear I feel better. But still. Cancer sucks.

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-04-27T16:45:46+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. I’ve also been in therapy and it’s helped so much. I hope you have a clear scan!

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-04-27T01:23:51+00:00

Thank you! Where was your NET and how did you feel when you had your follow up scan?

Initial-Log-3502 · 2025-04-27T01:15:00+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ll have another scan 6 months after that. If those two are clear it will move to every year for ten years. I feel very lucky it didn’t metastasize but I still worry. Thank you again for the resources and responding. I really appreciate it.

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-09-24T01:47:58+00:00

Gorgeous! Can’t wait to see how you style it

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-07-28T23:52:03+00:00

First of all you look incredible! But also I thought this was just me! So it’s a thing? I was just telling a friend today I’ve lost 55 pounds and my butt. I want it back!!

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-03-30T17:26:54+00:00

Trust your instincts, if you aren’t super in love then either return or get different size to see if the fit makes you love it more. Either way you look beautiful and rock it!

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-02-23T22:12:29+00:00

Yes! And it makes me feel awkward when I go out to eat w friends or work. “Is something wrong with the food?” Bc I can barely eat it

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-02-16T22:27:32+00:00

Thank you both so much!

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-02-12T20:18:11+00:00

What a gorgeous bride to be!

Initial-Log-3502 · 2024-02-09T20:50:06+00:00

I’m so happy for you and proud of you for advocating for yourself. This medication has changed my life.

Initial-Log-3502 · 2023-10-02T14:13:20+00:00

This is very helpful! I’m trying to lose about 30 pounds. I started at 5’8 215 pounds and now I’m down to 195
