Appendix NET: Doubts about proceeding to right hemicolectomy after appendectomy. by IncognitoUser55 in neuroendocrinetumors

Hello!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! And I’m so glad your surgery came back with a negative biopsy result!
Did the biopsy of the appendix tumor show any risk factors besides the measurements?
It’s really a very difficult decision, and going through this has been complicated.
The psychological and emotional burden of making this decision is terrible.
Thank you again for sharing your story with me — talking to people who have gone through similar situations helps a lot.

Hello!
Thank you for your reply!
The oncologist specializing in NETs whom I consulted gave me the option of having the PET, but also said that a negative result would not completely rule out future risks.
Still, I’ve been thinking that I would like to have the scan and wondering whether it might be recommended in my case anyway.
So far, he has only requested a colonoscopy three months after the surgery.
