I'm am 56yrs old with liver NETs metastatic as well. Ki-67 is 4, well differentiated as well. I just completed my 23 Somatuline (Lanreotide) injection. And will have my 7th quartly MRI tomorrow. I'm also curious what Mayo tells you. Why no treatment to slow the growth? How old are you? Why did you do a Pet scan if you had zero symptoms?
Hello @splendrous,
I appreciate your update. It sounds like you are still considering another opinion to make sure you are getting the appropriate treatment.
Your question as to the development of symptoms is certainly difficult to answer as each person's journey with NETs is different. It sounds as if the frequent scans that are being suggested are the doctor's way of checking to be sure that this does not develop any quicker than is expected. Is that your understanding as well?
