We have NET in our family. Dad had small bowel nets with successful surgery. He had aortic stenosis also and took daily aspirin. My father passed due to what was called a saddle embolus to his lungs. After months of taking him to doctors for painful, swelling in his legs that was misdiagnosed, a physician finally sent him for ultrasound of his leg. Too late as the clots had traveled to his lung that same week. He was put on lovenox injections and after a week he was discharged. We were home one day and he developed gastric bleeding as he always had duodenal ulcers. There was no winning.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! It sounds as if your dad had a number of health issues. I would encourage you to take a look at the Grief and Loss support group on Connect. We have many members who post about their grief. I'm sure you will find a lot of support.
Here is a link to that group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/loss-grief/

Do you have friends and family who can support you in your loss?
