@apain Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am glad that the Octreotide injections are working. Congrats to you. What was your specific diagnosis that resulted in your right heart valve being destroyed? I think it is amazing that a cow valve replacement helped.

@tomrennie I believe I was told the carcinoid hormones from my cancer destroyed the valve. There may have been more technical terms, but I seem to recall better when everything is put in layman’s terms.
