Yes, I understand that your stage makes surgery a real option and I hope it works out well for you. I am not a physician. I would say that in my experience with NETs and other surgery that you will want to ask a number of questions about laparoscopic versus open procedures. You and the surgeon will need to weigh the benefit of a faster recovery versus the success rate of an open procedure with a clear field where the surgeon's experience with both approaches is highly relevant.

It sounds like you are doing a great job in seeking expert opinions as you choose the best course for you.
