If you are considering going to the Froedtert/Medical College of Wisconsin, I would recommend Dr. Callisia Clarke, Chief of Surgical Oncology.
Dr. Clarke is experienced in surgical removal of NETs in the mesentery. I had a complicated case involving removal of the terminal ileum, the ileocecal valve, the ileocecal artery, and part of the large intestine. So it involved reconfiguring the arterial blood supply to the intestine. She knows NETs. When my case was referred to the Cancer Center at Froedtert/Medical College of Wisconsin, she was selected as the best match for my case.
Dr. Clarke also surgically removed the mesentery NETs of a family member. Yes, it runs in my family to our surprise.
I would also consider Mayo Clinic as a source of NET specialists. There are locations in Rochester, Minnesota, Jacksonville, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona. These physicians care for many more NET patients than Froedtert/Medical College of Wisconsin. I have switched my continued care to Mayo because of their experience with NETs and their range of treatment options. I was lucky that Dr. Clarke was available locally when I needed to move quickly.
Best wishes to you.

@annamay How are you feeling now?

@annamay
Who is your Dr at Mayo?

@annamay right now i am okay, but i fear that nothing will be done until it attacks my intestine i am looking for someone who can cut it out without cutting up my intestines. what the doctors are telling me that when it attacks they will have to cut out my small intestines and end up with a colostomy bag. what is the address of Dr. Clarke. I am 87 years old in excellent health, play golf, bowl, work out 4 or 5 time a week 15 minutes in the weight room and 20+ minutes walking and light running in the gym. i am taking a shot of "L" in the butt and it seems to have slowed it down. I figure that at my age they feel nothing elaborate needs to be done.
