Good morning,

Thank you so much for the advice and link. I have been praying so much and that's what has been helping me to cope.

I was diagnosed with multiple Net’s in the small bowel, and 16 Net’s on my liver December 2022 I’ve been on Octreotide injections monthly.. November MRI showed no growth or new tumors.. I haven’t had any surgeries and go for another MRI this April..

@zalda, I'd like to add my welcome. I'm glad that fellow NETs members like @mimisayhi and @vinnie694 saw your post in the Cancer support group. I moved your discussion to the support group dedicated to Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuroendocrine-tumors-nets/

You can use the search function to find other discussions related to small bowel NETs. I think you might find these 2 to be helpful as you prepare for surgery.
