I have been diagnosed with pNET in December 2022. Grade 3 (Ki=18) with liver metastases (Stage4). I underwent distal pancreatectomy/surgery for that (alongside with total hysterectomy for endometrial cancer). Mine was 'debulking surgery', as there were too many small tumors on my liver. I also had spleen removal ( tumor was too close and engulfing the head of the pancreas and the spleen), and gallbladder removal. In March 2023 I started Somatuline/Lanreotide therapy every 4 weeks. I take Creon as my pancreas cannon supply the necessary digestive enzymes. I also follow high protein mostly plant and fish diet. Just had my first anniversary from my chemotherapy :).
You can reach out to me here or in private if you have questions, or are interested in my experience.

Wow, sounds like a lot of surgery! How are your scans doing now? They hold me mine are inoperable and don't respond to chemo so trying to navigate around that.

Happy anniversary. Your sharing has helped me so much. You are one tough cookie.

Have any of you done PRRT treatments? They are going to discuss this with my sister.
