I recently had surgery to remove NET in small intestine
They did a rt hemicolectomy and small bowel resection. They also did a wedge resection of my liver. They removed all of the tumor. Liver pathology came back clear. What concerns me is 7 out of 20 lymph nodes came back positive and they are telling me there is no treatment. They said high reoccurence and to just do scans and lab work every 6 months. Is this true no treatment just wait for reoccurence???

No symptoms at all. Still recovering from surgery. The sitting around not knowing what's next is my issue. My PET scan after surgery showed nothing. I'm thankful for that.

1 ReactionI saw the Oncologist a few days ago and all I can do now is sit and wait. Next scan in December. I have jitters but am learning to deal with it. I have had many sleepless nights thinking about the what if, second guessing etc.
What quiets the jitters? Knowing God has this and the outcome will be positive.
