My oncologist has prescribed lanreotide but I haven’t started as my surgeon suggested I wait for surgeon to determine if he can remove tumour.
I have elevated seratonin but not chromogranin so they dont think I have the syndrome.
I know what the symptoms are and have most, but don’t suffer from hot flushes.
My blood pressure went high last year after a hand operation that I believe triggered the syndrome.
I’ve been away this week diving the last 4 days and the fasting has all but eliminated my diarrhoea.
I feel rather well at the moment.
