about paraneoplastic syndrome testing. Here is some good information about lab testing for paraneoplastic neurological syndrome from ARUP lab:

I am almost through my work-up to rule out paraneoplastic syndrome. "Standard" procedure in women is to screen for breast, ovarian, and colon cancer with tumor marker levels and mammography, ultrasound of the pelvis, and colonoscopy. Then a CT of chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Paraneoplastic neuronal antibodies are usually selected for testing depending on symptoms.

Hang in there. What else can we do?
