Hello @avawein

I appreciate knowing the date of your surgery. I will be thinking (and praying) for you that all goes well. Do you know what type of surgery you are having? Is it a liver resection, Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), Microwave ablation, or something else?

I've never taken Octreotide so I cannot address the question you have about those side effects, however, perhaps another member will be able to respond to that.

I'll be interested to know what your doctor has to say about that at your Monday appointment. If you are comfortable doing so, will you post an update after that appointment?

Hi Teresa,

Thanks for your concern and prayers. Yes, it will be a liver resection. The tumors are in the same section of the liver so I'm grateful for that.

My oncologist suggested I give the octreotide acetate another try at a smaller dose. I did that this afternoon and felt pretty good - no pain around the liver - so will continue taking it.

Will answer Colleen's question now.

Best!
