An MRI found a 1.7 tumor in the trail of my pancreas. My doctor immediately sent me for a fine needle endoscopic biopsy. Pathology confirmed that the tumor expressed chromogranin. Dota petscan confirmed a PNET. Wait and watch for one year.... No change, but i opted for a distal pancreatomy saving the spleen. Two months post surgery, I'm doing pretty well. I'm 65. I wanted the surgery while i was still relatively fit instead of waiting... I'm happy to chat with you about my experience of your like to contact me, but my case was pretty straight forward and I've been lucky so far. I think people need to hear the good stories as well as the challenging ones. 🙏 This cancer can be treated. And you're not alone on the journey.
