Hello @pleasehelpkona and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum. I found this group prior to my third surgery for NETs in the upper digestive tract.

I am sorry to hear that your NET has grown and has become entangled. Have you considered a consultation with a NET specialist? These are oncologists who have special training and expertise in treating NETs.

Mayo Clinic has NET specialists in all three of their locations. If you would like a second opinion with a Mayo doctor here is a link with appointment information, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63. If, for any reason, you cannot be seen at Mayo, here is a link that lists NET specialists throughout the U.S. as well as worldwide, https://www.carcinoid.org/for-patients/treatment/find-a-doctor/

How are you feeling @pleasehelpkona?
