Certainly a better question for your Net Specialist, or medical team. Every case is different, so don't go by what any of us say, but I look at in half glass full approach. Now that you had them you will be monitored on regular intervals, and way more likely catch them in a very early stage, which should only be a maintenance issue, but again your Net Specialist will be able to give you the medical facts, which are the only ones you should rely on. You got this, we got you.

Thank you. My net specialists are oncologist surgeons at Stanford. And they said I don’t need another scan for three years because the nets are small and not growing. I participate in patient education seminars and have become somewhat of a “net specialist” myself. My endocrinologist doesn’t know a lot about PNET’s. There’s also a patient support group forming within the Seena Magowitz foundation. In September, they plan to start the neuroendocrine group. I’d love to have you join us. I am very optimistic like you but also a realist and I don’t write anything that is not information directly from a net specialist. This info about them growing back is a quote by Dr. Jeffery Norton, former chief of oncology at Stanford.
