Hello, I'm sorry for what you're going through. My wife underwent enucleation of a pancreatic tumor (NET). She had no major complications other than the drains. The enucleation was performed in March 2024, without any other type of treatment. My wife's tumor was functional, it secreted ACTH, which caused, in addition to the cancer itself, ectopic Cushing's syndrome. Since the tumor was removed, my wife has returned to normal. Obviously, she needs regular checkups, every 3 months for the first year, now every 6 months, CT scans, MRIs, and a PET CT scan with gallium 68. My recommendation is that you seek a second opinion, and if possible, have a removal. Regards

Sorry for my English, i speak spanish

That is awesome. So happy for you both. Where did she have the surgery?

Your English is excellent! Best to you and your wife. Cushing’s is not easy! So glad she’s recovering!
