PNET found last January, had 5cm tumor removed last April along with the body an tail of my pancreases and my spleen. The margin was dirty on the pathology report but nothing showed on my first follow-up CT. fast forward to this past October and NM PET CT showed two small lesions in the Liver no definite foci of moderate or intense DOTATATE uptake seen. In January (2026) on a diffusion weighted MRI multiple (11) new subcentimeter hepatic lesions were found and were most likely small metastases. Had NM PET CT done Feb. 2nd confirmed the lesions found on the weighted MRI were metastases. Treatment plan is to start with Lanreotide shots every four weeks.
Point here is be aggressive with your follow-ups and take nothing for granted because I have been without symptoms since I had surgery.
