Anyone treated for NETs at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL

My general surgeon, who got the PET approved, said it "has to come out." I am being referred to an oncologist and surgeon through the U of AZ. My problem is that I am very prone to C-diff and seem to have all of these odd side effects after procedures. I am more afraid of the surgery than the cancer. I will know more after the 27th June and keep you informed.

With your history of C-Diff, I can understand your concerns about surgery. I would be sure to let the surgeon know of this problem and inquire as to what steps can be taken to avoid the problem with this surgery. (But, I'm sure you were already planning on doing this.)

I look forward to your posting after the 27th and hearing how your appointment with the surgeon went.
