What did they do for the small bowel obstruction (SBO?

My NET surgeon seems to think it is just a matter of time until I have an SBO. The implication is it would be better to do a major surgery sooner instead of later. A planned surgery would be better than emergency surgery.

My doctors already know I have a distal ileum NET seen on a Dotatate PET scan. The primary lit up with mets to a few lymph nodes close by. There is possibly one spot call which was called distant "drop" metastasis somewhere near my rectum. I made the comment that everything combined didn't sound that bad and the NET endocrinologist agreed. I'm not completely asymptomatic but a small bowel obstruction doesn't seem imminent.

@dadcue sooner you get the bowel resection done the better it is for you just make sure you do open surgery so that the surgeon can visualise and feel your intestine.
