@dbjoyce I live in Cairns Australia and had net tumours removed from my ileum in 2022. Not a net surgeon but my surgeon opened me up not laparoscopically so he could get what he can out after 4.5 hours he took out 1.5m of my ileum and 10 lymph nodes (4 had nets) now have liver lesions and they are monitoring them. my recovery was ok 7 days in hospital. the medical team made sure i walked around the ward 3 times a day to help with recovery. for now no monthly injections and no symptoms. i do get constipated though. all the best. all i am saying surgeons cannot get it all out unless they feel your intestines as some are so small to see (my surgeon said this)

@siluka I had my first Lanreotide injection last week. Even though the last surgery cleared most of the tumors, my oncologist said that due to presence in the peritoneum, the Lanreotide would decrease regrowth. It wasn't that bad and so far side effects were minimal.
