Family member with several neuroendocrine tumours

A family member has recently told us she has several neuroendocrine tumours, liver, lung and pancreas. She said they are not cancerous but she will need chemo and has a macmillan nurse. Does this sound right? I have read that NETs can be benign but am confused at the need for chemo. She is nearly 80 and I'm worried about her and if she has understood her diagnosis.

Thank you for any advice/experience you have can share with me.
