NET Stage 2 in Stomach

Posted by soonermimi @soonermimi, Jun 24 4:39pm

I was just diagnosed yesterday. Looking for information, and in particular from anyone with stomach NET. Mine is “well differentiated NET of stomach Grade 2. “ I will be having a wedge surgery after a 2nd endoscopy and an MRI.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

Just wanted to give an update. I had my MRI on 7/15. I have not spoken with a doctor yet about results but the test results were published in “MyChart” (patient portal). It says no abnormal findings. Everything seems to be clear.

@soonermimi That's a good feeling isn't it?

Yes it is. I have to admit, I hesitated to even post it. I’m not wanting to rub my good news in anyone’s face. Just posted because I was asked to do so when results came in.

@donnalb4 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. Did you have any symptoms that lead to the search that found the polyp? What procedure found it?

@tomrennie Hi I had a PetScan and MRI. They found polyp through endoscopy. Biopsy and it was a NET. WAITING now on what to do next. I have a regular Oncologist and will go to MDAnderson and see what they say!

What is wedge surgery?

@donnalb4 My simplified understanding of a wedge surgery is like cutting a triangular piece of pie out of a tissue to remove a tumor or lesion. If someone has a more professional sounding definition, please share. Is your appointment with MD Anderson a NET specialist?
