question: Three years ago I was diagnosed with a very small carcinoid tumor which was found accidentally near the end of my small intestine duriing a colonoscopy. Sugery was reccommended, but I passed. About three weeks ago I had a very bad cold, and a little sinus infection. After the cold got better I noticed a dull aching pain on my right side under my ribcage. I had a ct scan a couple of days ago and the radiologist said they saw some spots on my liver. I am a 60 year old black female. I have no carcinoid syndrome symptons, in general good health, and feels good most of the time. I am on a very low dose of Lotrel for high blood pressure, and 50,000 mg of Vitamine D. I supplement with garlic with parsley seed oil gel caps for my hot flashes (menopause). Over the last couple of years I started to develope small bumps (boils) around my genitile area that would develop one after the other and get really sore and then errupt and heal. I seem to have solved that problem with daily doses of 1000 mg of vitamine C and alcohol rubs. Could all of these issues be related? Right now I am mostly concerned with the spots on my liver. I am due to see an oncologist later this month. Any idea as to what I can expect?
