Neuroendocrine tumour NETS

I wondered how much more help my mum can have, she has had 2 major operations to remove tumours over the past 5 years but this one on her liver keeps coming back. It can't be revived due to being attached to a bile duct.

She has has glass beads of radiotherapy about 6 months ago but this tumour is growing again. We are waiting on next treatment plan if any???

  • Hello Mary1973

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis and that despite undergoing different treatments, the tumour in her liver keeps returning. It's understandable that this is a worrying and frustrating time for you all. 

    Have the team said when your Mum may have an appointment to discuss the next options in her care? Hopefully, it won't be too long before you both get some answers and clarity on her situation. We have some information on our website about treatment for NETS that may be helpful but if you think it may help to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays). 

    Best wishes,
