Hi, I don't have cancer but there are plenty of people here you can talk to. Where are your tumors located? We're always here ready to talk to anyone who needs a friend.

located on my liver now, they were on my stomach, pancreas and part of my intestine until they removed half of each and 9" of intestine. Still on my liver but I am flying to seattle next wed. for treatment to get 2 of the tumors. 2 more will still exsist after that though =\

aren't carcinoid tumors in the stomach pretty slow growing?

Correct. It took them 18 years to find them. I had symptoms since I was 14 but everybody thought I was just pretending to be sick so I didnt have to goto school. Silly parents
