I was diagnosed in Jan. with pancreatic tumors in the tail of my pancreas that has spread to parr of liver. I have had 2 injections of Lanreotide with 1 more to go and then reassessment with CT scan. I feel normal with good energy and appetite etc. The only symptoms I seem to have related to the Nets is an itchy body rash. Has anyone heard of this? I'm seeing a dermatologist also but nothing conclusive yet.

My husband took Octreotide shots for about 18 months & some months after the shot he would get a severe rash on face & neck , it would look like hives & a horrible outbreak of acne, he would not leave the house . The dr. said not to common with the shot but we showed him a picture at his worst break out, he said it could very well be from the shot & told him to use hydrocortisone cream . It would take a couple days for it to get under control but then come back as he took the shots , so now he has been switched to another shot of Lanreotide & hardly any break outs
