Hello @panorman3,

You are asking good questions. Some members of this group have had a reduction in the sizes of tumors and some have not. If you would like more information, please read the posts in the following discussion group,

What does your doctor say about this type of treatment?

I does sound like you have NETs of the mesentery which is the tissue around your intestines. I've got the same condition. Lanreotide is injected in the bottom and it is said to control Nets growth for many people. I've been getting those shots for about 2 years myself.
