Hello @norkatsc and welcome to the NET Support Group on Mayo Connect. I'm so sorry to hear of the pain that your husband is experiencing.

I can appreciate it when you say, "It's the uncertainty and not knowing what to do." Most of us with NETs have felt this same uncertainty and confusion. As NETs is a rare disorder it is often difficult to find support and answers.

I would first encourage you to seek out a NET a specialist for a consultation. There are many NET specialists at the three Mayo locations. If you like to request a consultation (either in person or virtual) here is a link to help secure an appointment

Currently taking hydromorphone 2mg. I think he probably should take more but he is hesitant. Currently 2 a day. The strange thing is they say he is grade 4, no organs involved but I see on here everyone sees to have at least one organ involved. Dilemma is he will not do chemo other than the sandostatin shot. Thanks for your thoughts.
