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

@fraaseo I live in Far North Qld Australia. I found out in 2021 I had net tumours in intestines and lymph nodes. One general surgeon said nah i cannot do anything then another one said I cannot guarantee i can get everything out but i will go in and try. In March 2022 this amazing surgeon went in and took 1.5m of my small bowel out mostly ileum and 10 lymph nodes. He is not a net specialist but he had research them and told me the risks involved. I now have liver lesions in which all are sub centimeters and he is monitoring them like a hawk. I can say yes he is a general surgeon but he spent 4.5 hours cutting out what was necessary and for now minus my liver lesions feel fine with no symptoms
