has anyone had a neuroendoctrine  tumour in their small bowel. I'm told I have a rare cancer. I had the one blocking my bowel removed but there is three more small ones in situ. I have to wait three months while my surgery heals before getting scans and tests to see what treatment I need. I put a search on the site but nothing was found

    My friends mother

    Had one in her large intestine, colon. She was told that tey come in different varieties particularly relating to aggressiveness. The aggressive ones are nasty. She was fortunate as hers was not aggressive and was very slow growing . They said she may have had it for years. She had it removed over two years ago and has  no further problems so far. All the best to you ,Ron.
