We 'Zebras' will likely have different reactions to treatments. The Oncologist (specializing in NET's) is the best person (or, in my case, team) to analyze the situation.
I have been on Lanreotide for one and a half years and just recently upped the dose to 180 mg. every 4 weeks. I started at 120 mg. every 4 weeks and then adjusted to 120 mg. every 3 weeks and now the increase of the Lanreotide dosage.
I had introduced 'Lenvima ' 3 months ago, so now taking the two treatments. After 2 bouts of PRRT (which caused liver tumors to grow more) and Histotripsy, which partially shrunk some tumors (available in the U.S., not Canada (and very costly), I am finally somewhat stable. BTW, there is a lot of information online about the treatments and what to expect.
Much of the time, we are test subjects for ourselves, so this is a life project.
My primary was in the sm. bowel and metastasized to my liver, hence Stage 4.
Wishing the best.

Thank you. I’m curious if you had surgery to remove the liver Mets and the primary and then began the Lanreotide? Interesting about the PRRT and growth in your liver. Thanks again.
