@panorman3: Lanreotide 28 day shots help control digestion issues, can have side effect like gas, cramps, upset stomach; however, it does its job and can keep tumors from growing.
I’m a 4+ yr survivor of Sm bowel NET primary with metastases in liver. I have not had radiation beam therapy either. For instance help can provide tumor control in many forms - I had PRRT Lutathera radioactive targeted therapy a year ago and the results were stable (not growing) tumors, most tumors shrunk drastically in size over a 6 month period of treatment. NET tumors had to be Samatostatin Receptive to accept this radioactive drug & destroy the cancer cell nucleus.
I wanted you aware that there are specific treatments available that can be evaluated by your NET Specialist Medical Oncologist and this is your best decision to have this Dr advise you on your cancer journey.
Mayo Clinic Connect provide this forum for NET patients and families to get “first hand” experiences and suggestions to help us along the way.
Be hopeful… Scientists are providing new drugs & treatments to help us.

@panorman3 was his concern specifically addressed to PRRT, treatment?
