Gynecologic neuroendocrine metastasized to lungs: Need a specialist

Hello, I have NET related pancreatic cancer. My mother died of pancreatic cancer which was diagnosed literally the day she died. I was diagnosed with NETabout a year ago. I was treated at The Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa with great results. I underwent the Whipple procedure in Oct. 2022. My surgeon is an extremely competent, Dr. Mokenge Malafa. They went in expecting a few tumors and found 16. The surgery was very successful in that I did not require chemo or radiation. The whole process at Moffitt was very organized and professional.

Thank you we do have an appointment virtually with Dr Shafique. Moms had metastasized to lungs do I don’t think they can’t do surgery. Idk. I really hope Dr Shafque can give us some good hope.

Hello @juandixon and welcome to the NETs discussion group on Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing your journey with NETs. It is encouraging to hear of your successful surgery. Your experience emphasizes the importance of seek out a NET specialist in order to have the best outcome possible.
If you are comfortable sharing more, what type of symptoms were you experiencing that led to the diagnosis of NETs in the pancreas? What tests were done to diagnose this NET?
How are you feeling post-surgery?
