Thanks Colleen, appreciate that additional exposure and will see if others comment. We had MRI last Friday and tomorrow is PET scan. As for his diet, he doesn't have much of an appetite and sometimes only takes a few bites and then is just done. With his complex medical background, and things hurt or ache its hard to know if related to the cancer or something else.
Chemo starts 7/9. Last CA 19-9 on 6/24 was 15,667.

Hi @smithpamelag
Our story (short version) :), is the wife was diagnosed with NETs April 2022, 9 cycles of CAP/TEM, Surgery to remove primary on pancreas, ablation on liver as much as they get, remove spleen, and gall blader. Moved to PRRT treatments to try to get the rest, and we are looking good, but NET's is still in the liver. Presented by Medical team an option for a Liver Transplant, to try to isolate and hopefully get all of the NET's out of body, with transplant. Although, we understand there is no guarantees. Had transplant in January 2025, and it has been very tough on her, with multiple returns to hospital, additional surgeries. The moral to our story is to keep fighting this cancer, have a good medical team that you trust, and we are here to talk to with any questions and we will try to share our experiences if that will help you and your husband. You both got this, and we all got you!
