@hopeful33250: Hi Teresa, my oncologist dismisses Lanreotide causing my “boil-sore” problem. My primary internal med physician treated me for herpes with no change.
I want to be clear, as much as I hate these sores, I am grateful to receive my 28day Lanreotide injections because I trust that this universal treatment for NET patients helps me stay “syndrome free” and may be keeping my tumors stable. I would urge every NET patient to “deal with any side effects” of Lanreotide… we have a serious cancer and need to acknowledge that there will be side effects in our journey, but we must weigh the risk (or slight discomfort) with the benefit of treatment.
