I on Medicare they would only approve the long term my RX insurance wouldn’t approve the short term
I got diarrhea from the Lanreotide injections so I had to stop after 3 doses
I don’t get diarrhea from the octreotide injections
I do get diarrhea if I don’t watch what I eat
Yes my doctor did a baseline of an echocardiogram which I follow up every 6 months and I get bloods every 3 months but I think that will be extended to every 6 months as well
My gallbladder was removed when I had my liver resection done because the injections can effect it
I hope this information has helped
Best wishes
