I am so glad to hear that you have a confirmed diagnosis and a treatment plan in place, @amya. That is a relief, isn't it? I will certainly pray and send good thoughts your way on 11/27.

While I have not been diagnosed with insulinoma I have had 3 surgeries for NETs in the duodenal bulb and the 2nd surgery included the removal of the gallbladder. That procedure seems to be common with NETs patients, but I'm not sure of the reason for that.

Do you know how long you will be hospitalized after surgery?

It is a relief. I'm a bit hung up the logistics of the financials, but the tumor must come out. I'll deal the the financials as I have to. I'll be in the hospital for about 5 nights they predict. Will depend if they can do it laproscopic or have to convert to open. I hope you are feeling well.
