My wife’s primary tumor was a mass on the pancreas tail. Our initial findings of NET was noticed from a MRI from a different issue. Numerous, too many to count lesions were noticed on liver. Biopsy was done on primary tumor on pancreas. Followed by CT, MRI, PET scan, blood draws. Diagnosed as NET, started Lanreotide and Chemo (Cap/Tem) immediately, and completed 9 cycles. Reduced mass on pancreas and lesions on liver, our cancer team did surgery 3/1, removed tail of pancreas, removed spleen, gall bladder, debulk as many lesions as possible. They believe we have made it a mtn. Issue going forward, we have other options still to use to fight this. Hope this helps someone.
