Thanks for sharing, my experience was very similar (see below) additionally they removed the right side of my large intestine. This was in March of 2022. I have had scans completed as prescribed. In September 2024 my scans revealed a small tumor on my liver, the subsequent liver biopsy revealed a malignant neoplasm, morphologically consistent with metastasis from the known well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor. After medical consult with my Oncologist & Surgeon we determined the best procedure would be microwave ablation and was completed in January 2025. Today I have my follow-up PET scan.
This was originally found as a result of a positive Cologuard test was resulted in a colonoscopy from a very thorough MD and she found the tumor in my small intestine. At no time have I had any symptoms.
Keep the faith...
