"The Drs assured me I had no cancer and thought that CgA decrease was insignificant and NOT attributed to lanreotide (?)" I'm sorry but I have to take exception to this statement. I'm not a doctor. I'm just a patient who has talked to a lot of cancer doctors. I asked my Oncologist if there is such a thing as "cancer free" after getting diagnosed with Neuroendocrine cancer? He said "no". He went on to explain that the idea of millions of cancer cells just disappearing is not very feasible no matter what you do. Now, people can live a long time with NETs. That has been proven. Lanreotide can help. Been on that 2 years myself. But, will I ever be cancer free? I don't think that is currently possible. Best of luck to you.

Agree 100%; although it’s a slow growing cancer, there is no cure for NETS.

What do you mean when you say a long time?
