@ teresa33250:
Lanreotide 28 day injections- I have taken them monthly since 10/21. My main concern is the boil-type sores that form around/on my nose and occasionally on my cheeks. They are firey red and very sore and remain for 4-5 days, then an infection fluid comes out and they slowly heal, but leave a scar mark. I have tried every remedy available with no luck; however, lately I have been applying retinol cream (Nutragena) on face every night. This has reduced the amount of sores and I think they heal up quicker.
I can’t swear this is caused by the Lanreotide injections, but I never had it before! I am 79 yrs old… you don’t suppose I am going through pimple puberty again , do you? 🙂

That sounds very uncomfortable, @dbamos1945. What does your doctor have to say about this? Are there any alternative meds that you might try?

What type of NET do you have and where is it located? I have Typical Lung NET. Reactions from it are not yet bad enough to start injection treatment, but I want to stay on top of effects and outcomes. Thank you.
