I. Was dx’d with NETs of the sm bowel in 2014. Was told to find the best NET surgeon I could . I went to the University of Iowa, 100 cm of sm bowel removed by Dr. James Howe. Over the next few years I attended all the national conferences and learned a lot~! One takeaway was patients came and said they were inoperable. What I learned, it is the surgeon that often makes it inoperable and their abilities. Not knowing your situation, if it is still a concern, the above Doctor is the best, IMO, I am still here. Next is Dr. Eric Liu in Colorado. These 2 surgeons are able to handle most situations, even if the tumors are in the liver or near many blood vessels. This is their talent. I do not know your situation, but would highly recommend checking these docs out for second opinion. Always get second opinions.! Good Luck. Oh I am still no evidence of disease. 🙏🏻 it continues.

@theresaag You are 100% correct, only general surgeons usually state inoperable. Thank God for NETS Specialist Surgeons!
