They did a pet scan right before surgery, and did not find any metastasis to my liver. They just did an MRI, and other than finding an arterial perfusion and non-alcohol fatty liver disease (bummer) they didn’t find any lesions or tumors. So, as it stands, I don’t have any tumors. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with chemo or other therapies to go after cancer cells before they are tumors. With the lymph node involvement I had (3 of 10) next to my pancreas, my oncologist is concerned about cancer coming back.

The CT cu64 is a different PET scan. Chemo doesn't work on Pnet. Make sure you get a speciaist
because it matters alot. I don't know where you live but I go to the moffitt cancer center in Tampa fl. MD Anderson is the top dog with it but there in texas. Check around and you will find the correct ones to go to. It's not just a oncologist thing, it's an oncologist that specializes in net cancer is what you need. Good luck.

Take care
