Caring for Carcinoid Foundation

As a patient of carcinoid mets with 19 lesions removed from liver and 1 at pancreas biopsy with radiation to the duodenum area and a small nodule in lung that disappeared.

I have doctor office visits monthly for the last 50 months. Completing blood lab tests and an injection of octreotide acetate for my symptoms of carcinoid. I have an Rx for pain usually every 2 months. I have an intake of multi-vitamins including b-12 and iron and niacinamide (no flush).

I eat healthy foods with a good lifestyle. I avoid an essential amino acid called tryptophan found in foods especially meats.

I visit a psychiatrist for depression and sleep associated with diagnosis of cancer.

How I Fight for a Cure

I usually go to my home computer and research cancer websites to find out any new changes of 2006 and found this new website called Caring for Carcinoid Foundation.

I have found that the US government has donated to the research of this cancer of carcinoid or neuroendocrine a contract until 2011.

Hoping to find a cure!!!

My Caring Words of Encouragement

I am proud of the US government in many ways of decisions and achievements of our great country and have confidence in their research struggle to find the cause and cure of this gastrointestinal neuroendocrine cancer that metastasized to several organs and to the hepatic liver.

I will survive this type of cancer with help from my oncologists per month.

God bless, John
