I’m so glad you are sharing this with us. I was recently diagnosed with stage 1 NET in the tail of my pancreas about 2cm in size. I have an Oncologist who specializes in NETs. My other Gastroenterologist thought the tumor was a splenule after a surgical needle aspiration biopsy showed only blood and tissue without any malignant cells. However they then had me do a SPECT CT and then a PET scan. Which finally confirmed the NET.
I am set to have the tail end f my pancreas removed(15-25%) and also my spleen I. May 8 in Austin Texas. I’m concerned but glad to have options for treatment. I am also diabetic and my sugars are usually in the high 200-400 even on insulin and metformin
Your experience has a helping me prepare for my surgery.
Did your Dr have you drink a pre surgery prep called Impact AR twice a day starting 5 days prior to surgery ? Also did they tell you to drink a carbonated drink on the way to the hospital? This was what the PA advised me to do.
You’re in my prayers
