Neuroendocrine Tumor - no treatment plan method

@ceefer Who told you that you had a NET? I just want to know which type of doctor or surgeon told you. What in your test results led the doctor to make that diagnosis? Did any of your scans include contrast? If so, do you know the type of contrast? Sorry for all of the questions, but from a NETs patient perspective, I am a little confused. Thanks.

@tomrennie yes I had with and without contrast. My family practice doctor ordered the first test. With and without contrast and sent me to see a gastroenterologist, who did another test with Cat scans and MRI, with and without contrast, then referred me to a gastroenterologist surgeon. Who took a biopsy and pet scan. He said it probably warranted resection but said my diabetes would be worse and my quality of life would be worse without my spleen and he’d have to remove it with half my pancreas. Scared
