PNETs: What comes first? Surgery or try to shrink tumor with chemo?

Yes. My husband has the gallium scan coming up soon that the oncologist has set up then we will see the oncologist again after words. Meanwhile we have the net specialist appt before the gallium test. I hope that wont make a difference too much and he can still give us a good opinion. My husband is nervous about that test because it will be more detailed. The oncologist and the net specialist can see all the results, the records are connected now through the system. I was told they know each other.
Just hoping for the best outome and with mimimal side effects as to what they want to do.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Sounds like you’re on the right track! The specialist probably will hold off on a treatment plan until they get the gallium scan results.
I totally relate to your husbands trepidation about the scan. When they were first approved we resisted for the same reason. But in the end it’s best to know one way or the other. I pray you get excellent results!
