I was diagnosed 2 years ago, with stage 4 ,started in my lower intestines and metastasized to my liver, 16 tumors on my liver I believe the largest was around 2.8, I’ve been on Ocreotide injections every 28 days . So far it has stopped the spread, but a few have started to increase. Had my first Lutathera treatment last month to assist in stopping the growth.. So far in 2 years I still feel the same, no major issues with the treatments, only a little nausea and diarrhea for 2 days after.. I am currently going to Mayo for my treatments , everyone is different with their treatments, I wasn’t a candidate for surgery.. As far as life expectancy, don’t loose hope, there are people on this site that have been getting shots / treatments for many years.. I go to Mayo Jacksonville, and I totally trust my team..

Hey Vinnie, when did you find out that they are growing again?

How did the drs find the growths? MRI or CT?
I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago ( December 2022)via F18- DG PET scan; had Ga Dotatate before surgery ( debulking) and have been having CT scans with contrast every 4 mo.
Hugs, and keep the fight!
