Ray, and friend, Nick accompanied Hap into the city this past Wednesday. (Thank goodness for family and friends) Hap had an octreoscan and CT scan with contrast scheduled. Copies of these scans will be sent to the doctor in Sweden to review for possible treatment options. Hap had his nuclear injection in the morning and was told to return @ 4:00P.M.
This gave the guys four hours to walk around the city, taking in many sights and lunch at Time Square. They returned to Sloan for Hap’s one and a half hour octreoscan.
Needless to say, they were backed up and Hap did not get in until 5:30. Following that scan, he was prepped for the bi-monthly CT scan. After another long wait, Ray, Nick and Hap left Sloan at 9:00 P.M.
(Thanks to them for keeping Hap company on what turned out to be a very long day!)
Dad Luna returned to Sloan with Hap the very next morning to complete the second part of Hap’s nuclear scan. After a 2 hour scan, they were back on the FDR heading home.
Hap is due back to Sloan on the 27th for an appt. with his main doctor to go over his scans and to have another echo-cardiogram.

Just wanted to say your family is in my prayers. My 39 year old husband is also being treated at Sloan for Carcinoid. Chris's primary is in the pancreas and he also has mets to the liver (just had his 2nd embolization in May) and also in some of his bones. There are a few swollen lymph nodes in the abdomen as well. Would love to touch base and talk specifics. We're considering PRRT in Germany for the future as well. Feel free to reach out if you'd like - koconnor1009 at hotmail dot com Best of luck to all of you!
