Procedures?
Was diagnosed with NET last year, have been getting Lanreotide injections every 28 days plus Everolimus medication everyday Dr stopped Everolimus in September because i was developing sores in my throat, my NET is in my lungs, liver and pelvis area.
Are there other procedures besides radiation therapy?

Having cancer and getting treatments is always a balancing act it seems. Each journey is different and you may or may not want to seek out PRRT or surgery. What are your symptoms? Are you having PET scans to monitor your NETs? Sometimes the best action is no action at all. I'm currently just watching a very slow growing cancer in my mesentery. Good luck to you.

4 ReactionsYes. There are many treatments and procedures. First, I would strongly encourage you to seek out a net specialist. General oncologists usually don't have the required knowledge of this still fairly rare disease to properly treat it.
You can search for a specialist near you and learn more about nets at

Best of luck to you!
