Found PNET on tail of pancreas but told it’s nonfunctional

Hello @maggieflorida and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I see that @lu7 has already responded to you about her robotic surgery. As we wait for @michellesimpson10 to respond, I was wondering if you would care to share a bit more about your husband's NET. Is this a new diagnosis for him?
As many others, including myself, never had any symptoms prior to the discovery of the NETs, I was wondering how your husband's NET was found. Was he having problems that led to the discovery of the NET or was it found incidentally, when the doctor was doing a scan or test for something else?
How is he feeling now?

My husband is a retired radiologist. He has had ibs and upper gastric pain for several years. As his symptoms began getting worse he started to wonder if it was pancreas related.
Sure enough new images showed a small (2mm ) lesion in the tail of the pancreas and a 5mm in the body of the pancreas. Perhaps exposed to to much
radiation. His surgery is scheduled for Nov 16th. His concern is post op life/diet changes
