My husband has been getting Lanreotide injections for 2 1/2 years after a)having surgery to remove carcinoid tumor in intestine in 2005 and b) small tumors registering in Dec 2022. Only recently did markers change through a number of other issues. While he was very uncomfortable with the monthly injections, the time our oncologist (same surgeon who removed tumor so long ago) has spent reassuring him to get out and live helped. Now, with an increase in chromagranin, he's recommending a change to daily pill. Since this is Carcinoid syndrome, various small slow growing tumors in widely different places, radiation and surgery have not been suggested.
