I had a neuroendocrine on the tail of the pancreas removed in 2017. A yearly followup MRI in late December of 2025 showed small mets to both lobes of the liver. I have had four injections of Lanreotide & have for the last month had high blood pressure including being sent to the ER ny my PC physician. My cardiologist had upped my blood pressure medication & I see her again in two weeks. Just concerned about damage to heart & blood vessels. Wondering about other medications available if this becomes difficult to deal with.

Hello @christobelle89 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am sorry to hear of the blood pressure problems you have had. It will be good to meet with your cardiologist and find out if the new dosage of BP meds is helping. Regarding your concern about damage to your heart and blood vessels, this would be a good question to bring up when you see the cardiologist.
Regarding other NET medications, this would be a good discussion to have with your oncologist. There are other treatments for NETs, including PRRT.
It looks like you were first diagnosed with NETs in 2017. Is that correct? Were you having symptoms related to the NET on the pancreas? How are you feeling now?
