Hi, I am Don. I was diagnosed with stage 4 in May of this year. I am on Oceotride shots once a month. I am doing well so far. I just wish I knew what is ahead for me.

What is the Oceotride shots? I don't know, is there such a treatment?

Hello @donaldridener and welcome to Mayo Connect. Your post caught my attention when I read that you are taking Octreotide injections. These are usually given to patients with NET tumors. Did your biopsy reveal that your pancreatic cancer was a neuroendocrine tumor?

If so, Connect has a discussion group specifically for NETs. Here is a link to those discussions,

There are many members in the NET group who have tumors on the pancreas. I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you continue to post with any questions or concerns?
