Thank you ZZzzz. NETS is a strange form of cancer for which there is no cure but there are some treatments now which may keep the tumours small. Unlike most cancers NETS may not always be fatal and some people may never know they have it. Sadly for my mother in law she dropped to 6 stone and even at 5’3” that is underweight. I just hope she can start getting treatment again soon and the tumours shrink again.

My mother in law has Neuroendocrine Tumours better known as NETS which is a form of cancer but unlike most cancers she is not immune compromised. Ann has lost 20% of her bowl and 40% of her liver. Ann was allowed in for her annual scan and they phoned with the results and the tumours have grown from 8mm to 18mm but due to the current situation they cannot give her any more treatment at the moment.

How many others have been refused treatment who might really need it. Just saddened by the whole situation at the moment. :-( :-( :-(
