Anyone have a partial gastrectomy to remove a NET?

@suzystation and welcome to the NETs discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like your husband had good treatment for his NETs. That is always good news!
I have had three surgeries for small NETs in the duodenal bulb so I understand just a little about his experience.
What type of surveillance/follow-up will he be having now?

My understanding is they will be doing- standard CBC and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel along with Serotonin Serum, Pancreastatin , and 5HIAA Plasma/ neuroendocrine. I believe the CT is just with contrast. If any of these come back irregular then they will do the CU64 Dotatate scan. One of his oncologist specialty’s are NETS. Very pleased with the handling of his NET. If needed, we can also go to MD Anderson for any second opinions since my husband is a patient there as well- be referred to their NET clinic. Feeling very thankful - no signs of prostate cancer one year out and hoping for all clear in June ( for 6 month post surgery for NET).
