Hello Mlassen1.
I've had 3 opinions from qualified oncologist and so far the best they can tell me is they are trying to slow growth and metatisis.
I just started my lanreotide injections regiment but only 2 months.
I have more than one tumor so they did not remove them.
Curious as to why they didn't surgically remove yours.??

I had several and they were spread out making surgery not an option, at least not by my surgical oncologist

@doonman That was the same answer I got which makes sense. I just wish there was a treatment to kill the cancer but as of right now it sounds like we play for a draw.
