That's great news! Thanks for updating us. I know you indicated that she has an oncologist specialist but is the oncologist a NET specialist, specifically? As to the hormonal effects of the net, these can be controlled with somatastatin receptor drugs like octreotide or lanreotide injections. Is she currently receiving these monthly injections?

Hi, it’s been a while. I hope all is well. My wife had her second injection. Presently, she been doing well. Less hormonal changes. It appears that the injections are helping. Her only complaint is some weight gain. She has not received an update on her nets stage level thus far.

Hi, I hope all is well. My wife received her first injection of lanreotide. Presently she has been experiencing strong headaches and diarrhea thus far. I am certain it has been attributed to the injection. Blood pressure elevation is causing the headaches. I’ll keep you updated. -:)
