We actually never had trouble getting help. His pnet was found incidentally and we’ve only seen NET specialists since that diagnosis. All have provided him with excellent care. A NET specialist is crucial to treating this disease. And even then we sometimes had to be persistent. For example, following his first surgery he frequently digestive and bowel issues (pain and diarrhea) Creon did not work but the specialist we saw for many years didn’t seem to have a solution. When we moved out of state and saw a new specialist, we talked about it and he suggested a bile test. Bingo! His system wasn’t getting rid of bile properly. He prescribed a med for it and that issue is now much better. Bottom line - if at all possible get your care from a net specialist. And if the one you see doesn’t help, seek a second opinion. Some even do video consults for 2nd opinions.

We went to a PNET specialist at Mayo in Rochester, MN and he completely ignored our concerns he said it wasn’t coming from the tumor.. I was completely applaud by his behavior as a physician there he had no compassion. We were so excited to go to Mayo hoping we would have a plan when we left there and when we left we we’re more confused then ever.. we were completely disappointed because we thought Mayo’s reputation was they would find a solution as they advertised. Nope we were sent on a plane to go home! Completely discouraged!! I personally think we just saw the wrong doctor there!
