Everyones situation is different, I started with Lanreotide, for the first 3 months, then switched to Octreotide Although the injections did stop the development of new tumors there were a few that continued to grow, After 4 treatments of Lutathera, the MRI shows that the tumors were shrinking.. I was blessed that I didn't have any bad side effects from the treatments other than fatigue. My best to you on your decision..
