I recently had surgery to remove NET in small intestine

Posted by hans051275 @hans051275, Feb 12 10:13am

They did a rt hemicolectomy and small bowel resection. They also did a wedge resection of my liver. They removed all of the tumor. Liver pathology came back clear. What concerns me is 7 out of 20 lymph nodes came back positive and they are telling me there is no treatment. They said high reoccurence and to just do scans and lab work every 6 months. Is this true no treatment just wait for reoccurence???
