@lindabees Thank you so much for sharing this. It shows that even though we all might have NETs, our journeys can be quite different. Steve Jobs death is a reminder that NETs can be quite deadly for some of us.

@tomrennie it's my understanding that Jobs died from complications during surgery? We don't know if the choices he made were risky. Today's prognosis seems somewhat more hopeful but every individual has a unique path. Good luck to everyone finding the best path to dealing with this challenging condition.

The article did mention that Steve traveled to Switzerland and had PRRT therapy in 2009. I had read about his cancer journey before but did not remember that detail.
