Neuroendocrine tumours

My husband has just been informed that it is likely that he has multiple NETs in his intestines and bowel.  Thickening in his bowel, other locations of suspected tumours and swollen lymph nodes. We are waiting for an urgent laparoscopy in the next few weeks - in the meantime what should we be thinking? Is this treatable?

  • I'm sorry about the news your husband has been given Buddy but I'm glad you've joined us here on the forum as you will find others who understand what you're going through.

    One of those members is [@andydorro1]‍ who has been living with neuroendocrine tumours for 13 years. It's been a month or two since he posted on the forum but fingers crossed he'll pop back soon for a chat now I've mentioned him in this post.

    You'll find others in a similar situation on a discussion Andy started in November so do be sure to have a look and join in when you can.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
