I was recently diagnois with carcinoid tumor in the stomach and metastatic to the liver and a spot next to the spleen. The surgeon feels it to be in my best interest to have stomach surgery and lymph nodes removed. also burn the metastatic spots out of the liver with radiation. I am concern about the out come and long term effects. I am other wise health and a active 58 yr. old male. The surgeon wants to start me on shots 3 times a day for now for treatment of flushing, stomach discomfort and some occasional diahrea. Has anybody had this procedure? I am being treated at the NNMC in Bethesda.
