Big Al - diagnosed with pancreatic NET

I've been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour in my pancreas and may not be fit for surgery what are the options 

  • Hello Cloghenry

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with a pancreatic NET and that at the moment surgery may not be a treatment option available to you. It's understandable that you may have some questions and concerns. 

    We have information about NETs, including about treatment options, on our website that you might want to read through. I'd also suggest getting in touch with one of our nurses to talk things through with them. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can as well as help you think about any questions you might want to ask the specialists at your next appointment. The nurses are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your next appointment with your Consultant. Keep in touch Cloghenry and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
