That's right. I've had more than one surgeon tell me there is no cure for NETs. My current Oncologist even said that he does not use terms like "cured" "clear" or "cancer free". Remember, there are millions of these type cells in the body.

Good afternoon, given that statement, what would be the difference between a healthy person and someone who has had a tumor removed, and all the tests and analyses are normal? Like healthy people?

Exactly. However, if you join the monthly meeting this group has, you will meet many who are living with NETs for decades. It is a different way of thinking than many other cancers where the goal is cure or remission.
