I’ve been on Ocreotide for over 2 years, approx 16 tumors on my Liver. There has been no new tumors since then, and about 3-4 showed some slow growth. After approximately 18 months on Ocreotide, I started Lutathera treatmens, after 2 treatments, still no new tumors, and a few started to shrink, no growth.. Had my 3rd treatment last week.. praying for the same results. My best to you..

Thanks for sharing. Since your tumors were only showing slow growth what was the reason for changing to Lutathera treatments? How do you compare the two treatments side effects for you? Does you doctor say what would cause him to reconsider and perhaps change treatment? I am interested in at what would cause a reassessment of treatment. I had one doctor tell me 20% growth of te tumor would lead to reconsidering treatment. Thanks.
