After 7 cycles of the above chemo (pills) treatment, our Cancer Care Team at Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee, has decided that I have progressed enough that surgery is back on the table to go in and knock the NET down even further. Their plan is to remove the remaining mass on the pancreas, remove the gall bladder as it has become enflamed from the repeated Chemo cycles, and remove the remaining tumors on the Liver by either surgery or insert radioactive material in the cancer tumors to kill them. Hopefully, it will be completed before the end of the year, my question to any, that have had any similar surgery, as to what to expect, in regards to recovery and lifestyle after this surgery. After this surgery, our cancer care team believes I will only have to take the monthly shot as a maintence function to keep the NET at bay hopefully for a very long time.

Congratulations on your progress. I'm sure it's not an easy road to travel.
