NET on liver: Question about treatments when no symptoms

Thx for sharing. Did they say if her tumor was functioning or non functioning from the biopsy? My understanding is that non functioning tumors produce no hormones and there are none of the difficult symptoms that many people deal with. Since MD Anderson recommended watching, did they say why they also recommended taking the monthly Octreotide shot and what they expected as a prognosis?

K67 was less than 5%. Non functional. Thinking shot might slow tumor growth. I dont think MD would be doing shot at this point. Not sure shot level.
