I tolerated CAPTEM very well for 5 months and only went off it when there was no more shrinkage of tumors. The chemo shrank the small bowel NET to where it is no longer visible on MRI and liver and bone NET has been stable for over a year now after the chemo

Are you still on CapTem. I have been in on it for 6 months. Dr. Hopes I can tolerate up to 1 year. It did shrink the liver tumors by 50%. The pancreatic tumor is5.8 cm and had little effect. The tumor is inoperable.
How are feeling today.
