New NET in liver and small intestine

Hi @djchambers
I am assuming you are in the U.S.? I am in Canada and, last year, I went across the border (Seattle) to have a non-invasive procedure called Histotripsy. At the time they were specializing in eradicating liver tumors (with plans to eventually include more organs). Perhaps you can look into this procedure and see if you are covered. It worked for me eradicating some of my smaller tumors and actually blocked a larger one. It was, however, very costly. They have hospitals in the U.S. (not Canada) that offer it. Another option.

Hi, thanks so much for the suggestion. I will try to get information on that.

I do live in the United States and have Medicare and plan enough of the Medicare supplement. Medicare and net insurance supplement covered nearly everything for my test and surgery and hospitalization in 2024. However, my prescription plan does not pay very much for prescriptions.
