Scott was diagnosed back in April, but all information has been vague. His brain biopsy was two weeks ago and we are still waiting for the pathology to confirm specifics and begin chemo or radiation therapy. I have been trying to find any information I can on adult PNET with no results until I found this. I will share with you what I find as I continue to look for additional information. Blessings to you and yours. las

My husband has PNET - diagnosed 6 years ago - surgery, spine and brain radiation and chemo and then 4 years cancer free. It returned over a year ago and he had surgery and then high risk stem cell rescue therapy. It has been a year and he is doing really well. I can provide you all type of info but I know depending on the amount of resection and the doctors treating you everything is a little different!

My thoughts are with you and your husband. Keep a positive attitude. I am a 10 year survivor after being diagnosed with a PNET tumor when I was 26 weeks pregnant with my daughter. I had chemo and surgery and I appreciate every day.
