Hi 

newly diagnosed NET on my liver following biopsy, it suggested that primary cause stemmed from my lungs but further no lesions found on my lungs. Currently waiting for full PET scan see if they can determine primary source. Tried so hard to enjoy Christmas but struggling so much. My life feels turned upside down I don’t know what to expect, Feel uncertain, scared, up and down.I’m still fairly young with a family.. been feeling tired and sleepless nights. Love to anybody out there going through this right now x

  • sorry to hear this,stay strong and wait for your pet results, there are good treatments available

  • Thank you, I’m really worried about the future and once all the tests are complete and the results clearer still then how to break the news to 2 children over 10years old. We want to protect them but how ? 

  • Absolutely, they need to be protected as they are growing and it can affect them emotionally and mentally.Get some help from their school.They can contact some agencies to support you and your children.

    Sending you my love xx

  • Hi, I too have been recently diagnosed with a NET attached to my bowel blood vessels and nerve endings. I feel like I've had every scan/blood test/urine samples available. Awaiting surgery now, I too have a young family. I'm hoping everything will come good for both of us. Take care. X

  • Hi! Latest with me is had my PET I get the result following MDT on thurs, honestly feel I’ve waited weeks to get to this point, every niggle I’m like oh god it’s spreading please hurry with this treatment.  I’m apparently going on a combo of chemotherapy no mention of surgery atm unless that is discussed this week? I’m having thyroid checked also. I know what you mean I’ve had endless tests and was given false hope that things were ok.. the biopsy on my liver was the giveaway .. this type seems so slippery to diagnose. Thank you for reaching out please keep me updated how you are x
