@jessie1990 I have one primary tumor in my pancreas that was about 8cm. It is called the primary because it distributes the cancer through your body like a good midfielder in soccer. I hope you are a soccer fan? A lot spread to my liver and pelvic bones. But, some also spread to my bones from my tibia to my skull. I found out where it all was with a pet scan that used a contrast called gallium-68 dotatate. It attaches to NETs, so the scan can show where it all is. I still get them. A biopsy showed how fast it grows using a ki-67 grading system going from 1 to 4 with a 1 being the slowest and 4 being the fastest. I am a grade 2. Please understand that I got really sick right before covid hit. It was very hard to see a doctor let alone go through the process to see a NET specialist. My specialist suggested that I had the cancer years before it was ever an issue. It seems that yours was caught early. Please don't be alarmed. I know that is easier said than done especially for us folks with a little Irish in us. I have been alarmed myself. Please keep asking questions. The only dumb question is the one not asked OK?

So you are a big city lass from Cork? I have a brother and sister that visited there years ago. They say that the city is beautiful and the people even more so. They felt like they were visiting family. My wife and I were recently discussing a trip to Ireland and Scotland. My last name Rennie is Scottish. I find it quite ironic that our paths crossed here.
