Absolutely, I apologize for not explaining it better. At our initial diagnosis of NETwe we’re terrified that she had cancer and might die. Our oncologist quickly calm us down, referred us to a great team at Froedert hospital. The best day for us is when the main surgeon was very confident that after chemo and surgery we would be able to kick this cancer down the road by decades, and it only be a maintenance item, needing to do whatever is the best choice to continue to keep it at a very low concentration, only in her liver presently. Very few patients get rid of NET’s but many are living a good life being able to do what they want and this forum will share many of those stories. I hope this answers your question. Please let us know what other questions you may have.
