Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry to read about your situation and it's understandable to feel confused about what this means for you now.

With any type of cancer after successful treatment there is a possibility that it could come back. Doctors often use the word 'remission' rather than cure which means that as far as they can detect it, the cancer has gone, but from what is currently known, they can't predict how the cancer will behave in the future.

This is why you will be monitored. The aim of your follow up appointments is to check how you are and see whether you have any problems or worries. 

There is a support charity called  Neuroendocrine Cancer UK ( NETs) who support people affected by neuroendocrine tumours.

I hope this has been of some help. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
