I had Octreotide in the hospital for almost two weeks. And it sounds like I maybe having a shot once a month but that is being left to an Oncology Endocrinologist I'm seeing at the end of the month. I have never had any symptoms as this was found incidentally. It was the pancreas that looked odd they went to investigate...after finding that during an xray of my hip. That was 12 years ago. Nothing could be seen then. Then last year I went for a liver ultrasound and voila they found this tumour. One doctor said leave it, one doctor said take it out, So I went for a third opinion at the Mayo Clinic, and they suggested to removed it too. So came home and had it removed.
