Yes, they remove the gallbladder because if you get on Lanreotidd treatment ( as I am) it damages (forms gallstones) the gallbladder, so they remove it at the same time.
I had the same - open surgery, also with hysterectomy as it was unrelated to NET, but discovered during my first DG PET scan. And I am still around - on March 10 will be " celebrating' my 2nd Lan treatment anniversary :). We zebras are a strong bunch!💜🦓

Hi pavlina60
I just contacted my Oncologist and she said the bloodwork would show if we might have a weakness to have gallstones. I would not assign Lanreotide as the main culprit. There are other tests as well.
