I have heard there is side effects to the once a month shot( unsure of the name) what has any one experienced?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

If you don't mid me asking, What was your grade and stage 11 years ago? My husband has just been diagnosed with grade 1/2 stage 4 with liver metastases and Im very scared. He will get the shot every month from now on and hope for no growth.

I have pancreatic NET , grade 2, stage 4 with liver metastases. Had debulking surgery on Feb.1, 2023. Been on Lanreotide every 4 weeks, have CT scans for monitoring (first every 3 mo, then every 4 mo, now twice a year). My tumor was between the spleen and the pancreas, so surgeon removed the spleen along with more of the pancreas, and gallbladder too (long term Somatouline/Lanreotide injections damage the gallbladder).
My side effects are thinning hair (I take biotin for it), elevated blood glucose. Reach out if I can be of help!
Keep the faith! This diagnosis is NOT a death sentence!💜🦓
