Living with Neuroendocrine NETS, any advice?
Hi I am new here and just want to have a good place to chat with people that share my thoughts and concerns about my experience
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.
Hello @gg66 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I completely understand your wanting to chat with others about your concerns and experiences. When I first came to Connect in 2016, I was facing my third surgery for NETs in the upper digestive tract and really wanted some assurance that others had lived through this experience as well. At this point, I am a 21-year survivor, as my first surgery was in 2003.
With that introduction, would you like to share a little about your experience with NETs? For example, how long ago were you diagnosed; what treatments have you received so far (surgery, monthly injections, etc.)?
Finally, what are your main concerns or questions as you face this diagnosis? As I learn more about your experiences, I will invite other members of our NET support group to share with you.
I look forward to hearing from you!
