octreotide scan

my doctor has arranged for me to have one of the above scans.  A small pollop was found in my stomach and in my colon.  One of the tests revealed that my Gastron count was over 2000 - what does this high count of gastron imply?

Gastrin is a hormone that regulates acid secretion in the stomach.  Here's a MedLine article that might help you.  Also, just do a Google search on Gastrin and you'll get lots more info.
