Diagnosed with Stage 4 pNET: What should I know?

I’d like support last round suggestions, as my wife also had too many tumors to count on liver, mass on pancreas, surgery wasn’t a option. After 9 months of chemo (pills), Lanreotide injections (still doing), she had 80% reduction in tumors which allowed for surgery and hopefully just a mtn. Issue going forward. Never give up hope, your husband can do this, we got you!

I will not give up on him. I wish the chemo pill were an option but he has no spleen and bot red and white blood cell counts are way too low. We were told that there is a rare chance he could develop blood cancer if it dropped too low. Given all the rare things (none of them good) between his health and mine, he felt that was not a risk he was willing to take. He is 76 and stubborn but I think being stubborn is the only reason he is even trying to fight at this point.
