@doonman: Lanreotide 210mg is a standard 28 day injection for NET patients; it is touted to help control NET symptoms and improve reduced tumor growth. I’m in my 4th year of these injections and for me the side effects were constipation (no more constant diarrhea), face acne sores, flu like aches, tiredness & sore injection site. As time went by the side effects ceased and as of this months shot I only had one blemish sore appear on my face (Retinol has healed it quickly).
My above saga is to help you see that I believe Lanreotide 28 day injections are a necessary part of our NET cancer treatment… No Matter The Side Effects! I’m sure you will receive other NET peer opinions and it is always best to consult with your NET Specialist Oncoligist before you make all NET treatment decisions.
We have a rare type of cancer that is making great progress in providing us options for tumor progression, however so far there is no Cure. I encourage you to research this cancer and the many places it can metastasize. Best health to you..
