1. < Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs)

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???

Thanks for sharing. There is a lot of great information here. I am grade 2 pnet stage 4 and have been on chemo for over 2.5 years. It is working for me. We all react differently to the cancer and treatment unfortunately. It is a bit of trial and error at times to figure out what works for each of us.
