PNET in Tail of Pancreas, Portal and Splenic Veins

Could it be they want to get it removed before it spreads to the liver or elsewhere?
Just had tail of pancreas, spleen and gall bladder removed in April along with RFA for liver lesions. Open incision not laparoscopic, which I would have preferred.

Yes. They want to shrink it with the CAPTEM, then try and remove the tumor in the veins and take out the tail and spleen.

Did the cancer go into your veins like myself? My spleen, gall bladder, and liver are clear. Just my pancreas tail, portal and splenic veins.
