I can't offer any advice but can empathize. Mine started in my small bowel in 2020 and was stage 4 before diagnosed. I currently have 2 tumors in my liver and just started Lanreotide about 3 months ago after finding metastasized tumors in both ovary's.
Struggling with symptoms and am hoping the chemo will help them subside some. Lots of stomach pain and lack of appetite. The first 2 shots seemed to help the symptoms but the third one not so much.
Having a MRI in Dec to see if tumors have grown and or should be removed. Not looking forward to another surgery. Thats the nature of the beast.
I found a highlight to the weight loss part. I eat what I want with no guilt 🙂 Ice cream seems to help with everything. If you need a cancer buddy I'm open.

Thanks very: much for sharing. Were you taking any medications prior to Lanreotide three months ago? What scans and timing of scans have you been having since 2020?

Is the surgery being considered for the tumors in the ovaries or the liver?
Glad to be your cancer buddy. Where do you live? Hope the symptoms improve and you get a good report from your scan in Dec.
