PNET in Tail of Pancreas, Portal and Splenic Veins

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.

@mpt hi I just had a 6 month follow ct scan for lungs and they now found a 3.1 retroperitoneal mass right by the splenic vein they did a gallium but didn’t show but back in Feb 2025 it wasn’t reported on a ct scan with contrast but was lit up like a light bulb im work 8 months for an MRI Feb 27

The doctors didn't say anything about veins, but since that part of the pancreas shares blood supply with the spleen that went too. So I need periodic vaccines to compensate.
Think the main risk is metastasis to the liver, which I have unfortunately. No symptoms until 2 months before diagnosis so I doubt that time mattered much.
