My journey is similar except my lymph glands were all negative. I had a small bowel resection 6 weeks ago. Cologard detected the small tumor. My follow-up pet scan is in July. The oncologist suggested another colonoscopy in a year instead of three years

Yes, it is essential to have CT Scans every month and then every 6 months, and GALLIUM 68 scan, a lab test, and Possible lanreotide injection every month; you have to look for an oncologist expert in Neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy does not work in this kind of cancer
