Hi,
This is my first post and I'm not sure QUITE how it works... I hope I'm doing
this right.
Anyway, my 3.5 year old boy Bentley was recently diagnosed with Insulinoma and
I was wondering what methods of treatment people have used. What works? What
doesn't work? I have a prescription for Pediapred but I was told not to start
it until I do blood work. Also, an ultra sound was recommended but is this
necessary? Unfortunately, even if tumors that are removable are found, I don't
know if I would be able to afford to have the surgery... I know that they end
up coming back frequently anyway. I just want to know what is best for him.
Please write back with your suggestions.
Lisa
