@Hrkklinger did he have any complications from the surgery? Did he have any of his bowel removed?
Thank you for your information. Pretty overwhelming condition. Hope he does well on the PRRT (which I have to look up to know what it is}.

@bonnerpb Ron didn't have any complications from the original surgery. They removed 1/3 of his colon and took 11 lymph nodes - 7 of which were malignant. In 1995, there was no treatment known so he had CT scans every 3 months for the first year and then every 6 months and finally every year. There were no signs of tumors until 12/30/23. We're so thankful for the NETS specialists and treatments that are available now.

@bonnerpb Here is a link to one of the simplest explanations of PRRT that I have found. Don't let the big words confuse you. Just try to understand how it works.
