@fraaseo Thank you very much for your response. It seems and is understandable that most on this site have not found much relief and are still looking for some help. It's a relief to hear of someone who has had a positive reaction to these cancer drugs. I wish you continued success in your fight. I begin treatments in about 10 days and was just curious. Thanks again.

@doonman Thanks; I hope you get good results too!
@doonman My husband will have been on Lanriotide for 3 year on January 3, 2026. His first tumor was removed in 1995. He was rediagnosed 12/30/22 Stage 4 with tumors throughout his skull and body. His tumors have been and continue to be stable. The tumors have not increased in number or size. He has been moved to 6 month scans. He has minimal side effects -- mainly feeling a little tired. He does experience a pain in his left side occasionally especially if he eats fried foods. He is able to relieve the pain with GasX and lying directly on the pain. He exercises daily and maintains a normal lifestyle. We are 82 years old and work hard at keeping a positive attitude. Good luck with your treatments. We hope the lanriotide works well for you.

@doonman , Lanreotide does not shrink tumors, just stabilize the disease. It is the " tool for the first line of defense". For more agressive treatment there are other chemotherapies.
I have PNet with liver metastasies, Gr3, Stage 4, been on Lan since March '23, stable disease as of my 07/25 scans. Keep the faith; this cancer is a marathon!💜🦓
