This was very interesting. My SIL has NET in liver (started in pancreas). She is doctoring at WVU cancer center. 17 months after removing the affected half of pancreas and having Y90 treatments in liver, she is actually feeling great. BUT dr called yesterday says they need to start 2 different IV chemos asap because tumors are acting aggressive. We are speechless and we don’t know which way to turn. Tumor board met yesterday. We are scared

Hello @sharond1956 and welcome to Mayo Connect. Cancer diagnoses do have a way of leaving you speechless, I understand completely. I've had three surgeries for NETs and I've never had any symptoms. I'm really sorry to hear that after 17 months of treatment that your SIL is now dealing with aggressive tumors.

What type of chemo are her doctors recommending?

What is Y90 treatments? Why chemo? I was told would do nothing?
