Hi! It’s a confusing diagnosis. The short answer is yes, it’s cancer. I just had my tumor removed on 6/27. I had it done at Mount Sinai in New York. They have a NET specialty practice. Here is what I was told by my doctor after being first told it was pre-cancer. . . It’s cancer, but also the best and easiest to remove since it’s in the rectum. My doctor does not expect I will need additional treatment. They will class your tumor once it’s removed. I had a biopsy during a routine colonoscopy. Mine was grade 1, .44 mm. The biopsy tool takes a .7mm area, so it was a matter of going in to make sure it’s all out. I’m waiting on the pathology report, but there is also a grading system of cells I don’t understand. Mine was a k67 if I remember right. It means the cells decide slow and largely stay local. I had additional testing on 6/27, which was an ultra sound. No lymph node invasion. No other NETs found. Hang in there!
