NET in the jejunum spread to liver

Posted by tgsenn70 @tgsenn70, 6 days ago

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone had an NET that originated in the jejunum (small intestine) that has spread to liver? If so, I am wondering how your doctor handled? My husband has received this diagnosis and we are wondering about surgical options. He is taking a monthly injection, and has a CT scan done once a quarter.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

@vinnie694: to Vinnie and others on Lutathera PRRT infusions for NET tumor progression! I had Lutathera infusions from June-Dec 2024. I have small intestine primary with liver metastases & when tumors got larger I choose PRRT over major surgery. MRIs in Jan & April 2025 revealed tumors continued to shrink in size. My primary tumor was 7cm in Oct 2022 and now less than 1cm!
This is a great protocol with little to no side effects. I think it is a “win-win” decision! Thank goodness for Medicare! I am extremely grateful!

Did your doctor tell you surgery wasn’t an option?

Yes surgery dissection for my liver isn’t an option for me.

Thank you for sharing. That sounds like wonderful news for you. If you don’t mind sharing, is your current treatment an injection?

Yes I’m on the Lanreotide injection every 28 days. I started February 10th 2021.
