I was just diagnosed with a neoendrocine tumor Iy pancreas. Two doctors (UCSF and Stanford) have very different surgical approaches. I'm scared and confused.

Hello @chana and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I can understand that you are scared and confused. NETs are a rare disorder, and it is always confusing when you have two different surgical approaches presented to you.

Were you given good reasons for both surgical options? I would like to invite @californiazebra to this discussion as she has been treated in California as well. Perhaps she can shed some light on your situation.

Share, as you are comfortable doing so, how this NET was discovered. Were you having symptoms? You mentioned that your NET is on the pancreas. Are you have problems with your blood sugar as well?
