Thanks or reaching out to me. I am being seen by a medical oncologist at University of Wisconsin. While not on your specialist list he has several other patients with neuroendocrine cancer. I have submitted my lab and scan results to NIH for a specialist to review. She will be providing a second opinion.
I recovered without any complications from the surgery. I'm eating a regular diet. At the time of the bowel surgery they also removed my gall bladder at the recommendation of oncolgy, this has not seemed to cause me any issues. Overall I feel fine just a bit more tired than usual. Nothing an afternoon nap doesn't help.
The oncologist and I have not discussed liver embolization but I will be adding that to my never ending list of questions for my next appointment. Any recommendations for articles to read reagarding embolization?

As a fellow Wisconsin Badger, my wife has dealt with the past 9 months, similar diagnoisis as yourself. We have been working with the Froedtert Cancer Care team in Milwaukee. I can't recommend them enough. She had a mass on pancreas, liver with too many tumors to count, back in April 2022. Now after 9 cycles of Lanreotide and Cap/Tem Chemo (pills), she qualified for surgery on 3/1/23, and they removed the remaining mass on pancreas, spleen, gall bladder, and as many of the liver tumors as possible. We are in a great position to make this a mtn. item going forward, any and all questions I answer to help you, please let us know.
