@lindabees Wow. Thank you for the respond. 5 years ago I had mini Whipple(PNET). A month ago a leison appeared in my liver, in a risky place for biopsy - under the dome. It has been shown both in CT and MRI. The whole team of oncologist and radiologists offer a dynamic observation instead of biopsy. I am nervous. What if?..

Hello @pipo and welcome to Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum. NETs are a rare disorder, and there is much to be learned from the experiences of others.

I can understand what you mean when you say you are nervous about dynamic observation only at this point. Most NETs patients benefit from having at least one consultation with a NET specialist. This might be a good time for you to seek a second opinion. Mayo Clinic has NET specialists at all of its locations. Here is a link with information on how to obtain a consultation at a Mayo facility. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63. If, for any reason, you can not be seen at Mayo, here is a listing of NET specialists from the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation's website, https://www.carcinoid.org/for-patients/treatment/find-a-doctor/,

As you are not comfortable with the decision of your current medical team, have you considered a second opinion?
