Mine is also, dr had me do PRRT, but you dr and team may feel there’s another treatment option.
Hello @panorman3 and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. You say in your post that your carcinoid tumor is inoperable.
Please explain a little bit more about where the carcinoid is located. For example, is it in the digestive tract or lungs? How are you feeling?
So have you been diagnosed with a NETS tumor(s)? Where? There is no one treatment for this I'm afraid. There are several variations of Neuroendocrine cancer cells and it happens in several places in the body. So there are a lot of variables involved in assessing your specific treatment options.
Nets can happen any of these places.
