Also, the result of a blood test, chromogranin A NG/mL, was very high (176.5 vs the highest normal range of 101). Dr said this is high when the tumor is NET.

My CgA is extremely high however my oncologist and gastrointestinal doctors are not concerned. Reason- there are other factors that contribute to high CgA. ie any medication for heart burn usually increases
Numbers as well as other meds. There is another blood test-Pancreatic polypeptide that also is beneficial
Lots of non surgical tests are available
(I had a Whipple; as I am not an advocate of the wait and see scenarios. Won’t lie to you. It’s not a fun operation my PNET was stage 1 grade 2
5-1/2 years ago).
You must be your own advocate Find the best PNET doctor and oncologist
