Any one with Neuroendocrine tumors getting the shot once a month?

I was diagnosed several years ago and I have refused the shots to this point. I don't have the symptomology other than Asthma like symptoms that I manage. They sound painful and have side effects besides, how does any one afford them? I am sure I will have to submit sooner or later...

The pain is short or not bad if it’s done right! Medicare covers them if you are on it. It seem most people just get fatigued for a few days

Where is your NETS located? Do you have regular CT or PET scans? The shots are painful but the pain can be managed with Lidocaine cream or patches. The only side effect I’ve experienced is occasional fatigue. I am very thankful that my insurance covers the cost.
