I have been told today I have a 38mm NET tumour which has spread to surrounding lymph nodes and to four places in liver. This was an incidental finding and I’m so shocked as I don’t have any symptoms and feel fine. I’m being transferred from the hospital that diagnosed me to another hospital for treatment. All I can think about is my 6 year old rescue dog. It has taken me 2 years to make him feel safe and settled and the thought that he may lose me is unbearable. I lost my partner to a sudden death recently and with no other family or friends how will I cope. My partner always drove so now I have to contend with driving over an hour each way to hospital and leaving my dog for hours on end.
