Hoping your wife is continuing to do well. My husband has struggled a bit coming back from his 4th treatment but I think he is finally starting to feel better. Scans showed shrinkage in most of his tumors but a slight increase in just a couple. Any increase at all was a dissappointment but hoping he stays stable going forward. His sugars and very good so that’s a good indicator of stability for insulinoma. He continues with octreotide infusions every month and will have new scans in November.

I just finished my third which they held off for 3 weeks to do MRIs of my brain and cervical spine to see if the cancer metastasized to the area
Thank God it didn’t
I was told that the PRRT causes inflammation and could make tumors look larger and they aren’t
I am so happy for your husband that it is over and more good news than bad
I wish you the best going forward
Best wishes
