@jessie1990 Thanks for being sorry. I appreciate it. It has been an incredible learning experience not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Hearing that you have cancer changes a person. It is up to the person to choose to make that change for the better.

If you weren't confused, then I would think there might be something wrong with you. It is very confusing. I sense that you, like me, would rather watch the Red Devils destroy City at Old Trafford than learn about some obscure cancer type. But, here we both are. Let's try to simplify things a little. First, like @hopeful33250 suggested, seeing a NET specialist is important. It is a rare cancer that most oncologists know very little about or have forgotten what little they knew. Your treatment is best led by a doctor that lives and breaths it everyday. Second, get the best tests and scans to diagnose NETs. The contrast used in a pet scan is critical. The Gallium-68 is the most used contrast specifically for NETs. The result of the tests and scans are necessary to determine the best treatment possible for you. Third, get treatment. If surgery is the best treatment, get it done. If it is radiation, immunotherapy, chemo, or some other option, get it done. Don't wait like I had to. The bigger the tumor gets and the more places it spreads, the harder it is to treat. At your age, you have youth on your side. I was 56 when I got diagnosed. I just turned 60 this month. My battle is permanent. Try to limit that as much as possibly. Fortunately, you have already met two folks that really helped me when I got started. @hopeful33250 and @californiazebra are a wealth of knowledge and experience. There are others on here as well. I have learned more from them, especially how to approach things in the beginning and moving forward, than any medical professional has taught me. Lean on us. We have been there. We are here for you.

I was a big fan of Man U when Roy or Robbie Keane played for them. My saturday mornings are usually enjoyed watching the Premier League. It will be a tough match tomorrow against Spurs. I will be watching. I also have a been following a women's team. Recognize the kit? I might ask for some suggestions for a visit to Ireland. I hope that is ok?
