Neuroendocrine Tumor - no treatment plan method

Hi,
my husband was diagnosed last year with grade 1, stage 4 neuroendocrine tumor. We found out that for initial diagnosis the CT scans were not that useful ( although they are good for follow ups). MRI of the liver, followed by biopsy and a PET Dotate scan was what was needed for confirmation. He is on monthly Lanreotide injections and been stable with minimal side effects, I agree with everyone here..please seek out consultation with a NET specialist.

Hello @mimighosh,

I'm glad that you posted an update about your husband's treatment and that you encouraged others to seek a consultation with a NET specialist. It sounds as if the Lanreotide injections have not resulted in a lot of side effects. Has your husband's medical team suggested any other treatments?
