How Can Mesenteric Carcinoid Tumor Be Treated?
I was admitted to hospital, first to emergency, because of severe abdominal pain, upper left quadrant of abdominal area. At hospital, I was diagnosed with mesentery carcinoid, based on a history of surgery of carcinoid resection back in 2005. Released from the hospital, I am scheduled to see an oncologist within the next few days. For the time being I ve been supplied with morphine pills, 15 mg. They did work while at hospital. I have not used them since back home. Don t want to invite addiction though I am not the addictive type - I think. What to do with this carcinoid situation? What about taking morphine pills on a regular basis?

Hello,
You have carcinoid tumor. And, already it is resected. Morphin should be used temporarily.
Long-term use of Morphin pills is not advisable. Still, consult your treating doctor for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
