I found out accidently that I to have a NET( 1.5 cm, Grade 1) as well, I had a biopsy done and I was told Bad news It is Cancerous, Good News it is slow growing. They are just going to wait and see, and I am to have a MRI every
six months. I was to have a MRI in March the six month date. I had to call twice to see what was going on.
I sent a Email, My doctor send a email - Finally at 3:00 am I got my MRI on the 25th of June. Still waiting for
results. This will be the first MRI since the original, So I am anxious to find out the results.
I am 65, My mother died of Pancreatic Cancer.

Hi there. Sounds similar to me. 1.6cm at most, grade 1. Tho mine was squishing closed the pancreatic duct and that atrophied away 1/2 my pancreas. First opinion too was watch it. 2nd was have it removed. 3rd was remove as well. Maybe getting another opinion might be an idea too for you?. Gives you more information. Better to know than maybe worry needlessly. When mine was removed and alas surprise it had spread to one lymph node. So now recovered from surgery and waiting on appt for possible next steps. Otherwise surgeon says he’ll see me every 6 months for 5 years. I’m 64. Glad I did it All the best. Everyone is different!
