Complicated NET Surgery Needed

@hopeful33250 Absolutely! I get my 2nd dose 7/9. Then off to Flrida for a beach vacation before the cutting begins. Really no side effects to speak of. Lettle pain at the injection site for a few hours. I'll try to be more attentive to this message board. I guess I'm in a bit of denial.

What type of surgery will you be having? Have you already met with a surgeon?

Let me know how the cutting goes. I can't begin to wrap my head around that so I can't see surgery happening anytime soon. I see the surgeon again in December. A trip to Florida in January for some warm weather will be my excuse for not doing surgery. Florida is first ... then Southern California followed by Hawaii so all of that delays surgery until 2028 at the earliest. I don't feel bad so I don't want surgery anytime soon .
My second Lanreotide injection will be 7/9 also. The NET specialist said 6 months of Lanreotide would be enough time to see if there is some improvement. Otherwise, the NET specialist said it was only a matter of time before I have a bowel obstruction. Then surgery would be needed if I wanted surgery or not.
I'm planning on some improvement after 6 months of Lanreotide. I might be having some denial too.
