NET in illeum, surgery or proper nutrition?!

I appreciate you sharing a bit more about your NET history. It sounds like you have experienced a lot of symptoms that led to this diagnosis.
You mentioned that you will have surgery at the end of February. Do you have any questions about the surgery or the recovery period?

This tumor (NET) was found during a colonoscopy-despite a NEGATIVE colongard only 4 weeks prior . There isnt any history per se.... I never even heard of NET prior to discovery. The. NET was listed in colonoscopy as a polyp, which they biopsied, then diagnosed as a NET. There were other "polyps" found but no addl' info about them. So surgery was suggested for the 6mm one. My questions are general... like what will recovery be like (should be lacroscopic). will I be able to go back to normal BMs? Surgeon said lymph. node woukd be removed, surrounding tissue and possibly a small section of colon.

lots! And trying to get my oncologist or surgeon to call is not working! I have a very small NET (6mm) in my illeum. my surgeon will use laporsscopic to do surgery so I assume I wont have a very long recovery.
