Close Carcinoid Syndrome

I was diagnosed in July after getting severe pains and finally after several ER visits one doctor called in a surgeon and found out I had a tumot blocking my small intestine. I was then admitted and had half of my intestine removed.My family could not understand why I was on the Oncology floor since I did not have cancer. After all I had been having these symptoms for many years. I was then told that that I had Carcinoid Cancer which had spread to the liver.
