Yes, I was admitted into hospital emergency room from bloating, abdominal pain, and vomiting, and unable to pass a stool 12-11-25 at 12:30 am. After being admitted into hospital and given a room 8 hours later running a couple of days of testing, x-rays and CT scan ending up having a bad blockage in my intestines witch had to be desolve by pumping a special type of contrast down a tube into my stomach and intestines and about 7 hours later and a lot of pain, thank God for morphine blockage started to break up and over next 5 hours was able to clear blockage and start feeling better but still recovering and real tender, I live with this slite bloating and pain every day sometimes worse than others all do to the Neuroendocrine Tumor cancer that I have witch is stage 4, it infects the digestive tract and stomach and intestines, do not really have any side effects from my Lanreotide injection, finally got home from hospital last night about 8:30 pm, I hope this helped answer your question a little bit, God Bless stay strong

@larrym62 Wow, sounds very painful. Why didn’t they just do surgery?

Hello @larrym62, and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing your journey with NETs and how the hospital dissolved the blockage, eliminating the need for surgery. I was not familiar with this type of treatment.

As this is your first post, please share, as you are comfortable doing so, a little about your journey with NETs. For example, how long ago were you diagnosed? I see that you have had Lanreotide injections. Have you had any other treatments? I look forward to hearing from you again.

@larrym62 , it's been a few days since returning home, so I wanted to check in. How are you doing?
