Anyone have a stomach NET?

Jume 2022 .. I had a routine colonoscopy & endoscopy .. they found a 4-5 mm malignant NET tumor embedded in the lining of my stomach. The tumor was removed but the edge of my tumor tested positive. I go to my NEW Oncologist (my 2nd visit) this Tuesday to get results from a bunch of tests. I will probably need surgery where they will remove a portion of my stomach. Is anxiety part of the disease or is it me being worried?? My emotions are all over the place. I can't wait to get this behind me. I am currently at UTSouthwestern in Dallas and feel so blessed to find my Oncologist who specializes in stomach NETS. I am 66 years old and this is my first journey with this disease.

Hello @bof
I had 3 tumors in my stomach 4 years ago, the treatment was resection and after that 18 Sandostatin shots (one each 4 weeks).
I don’t know the size of the tumors detected for you,… is it possible a resection before even think about a gastrectomy?
