@nannybb Yes he did stop scans after 10-12 years. But remember at that time there wasn't much information and no treatment for NETS. In retrospect, there were a couple of times he had some pains that probably were connected to the tumors growing but he was overall pretty healthy. Exercise is important but also difficult to do if you aren't feeling well. I understand how you feel about your family. Because it has been so long for Ron, our kids don't always take it as seriously as I wish they would. Their dad still does everything he has always done. Generally they don't see him when he has had issues with food. They are more concerned now after finding out that the tumors are increasing. I keep them informed as Ron really doesn't like to talk about it.
Please keep in touch. I've found Connect to be very helpful for me to educate myself on NETS as well as the emotional support!! Prayers will continue for you. Thanks for connecting!

@rkklinger Please don't think I was judging him for not continuing the scans. My problem is my doctor has not ordered any scans since the surgery. He is just trying to get me to switch to the other form of the shot.
You mentioned your husband having "issues with food." Can you expand on that statement please? I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but food is a big issue for me as well. I drink alot of my meals...in that, I do protein shakes etc. I think I told you I had several inches removed from my intestines. I was told it was for diverticulitis. I was having horrible pains then too. And you are right. I am sure not much at all was knows about this form of cancer when your husband first was diagnosed. There STILL is not much know by general cancer surgeons. Thank you again for answering my questions. 💕
