A team at MAYO have looked at my scans and test results I have sent them concerning a NET on the head of my pancreas. The NET, according to what I have learned qualifies for Enucleation except that I am not able to know if it is to close to the duct which would disqualify it for Enuc. If the team tells me they can perform Enuc what do I need to know before agreeing to it. By walking through the door that includes Enuc what other door am I closing?
I have, as far as we know, only one PNET.
It’s on the head of my pancreas.
It’s less than 1.9cm
It’s well defined.
It’s non functioning
It has a Ki67 < 3%
I have no symptoms. This was an incidental finding on a scan for something else.
Naturally we all want to choose the path that will cause us the least amount of problems and that is all I am trying to figure out.
Thank you for any thoughts or experiences on this.
I get that no one situation is the same as the other.
