I have been on Octreotide shots for several years and also took Afinitor for a couple of years. The worst side effect I had was mouth sores especially if I ate acidic foods BUT my pharmacist in the Cancer Clinic suggested I use liquid Dexamethasone on them when I got one of them. It so worked for me and was a true blessing he suggested it. This was pre Covid so I’m not sure now if you can still ask for it (prescription) since they have also used it for Covid treatment. Again, this was oral and it only took a dab on the spot so a bottle lasted forever. Sometimes my appetite wasn’t so great but never really a problem for me.
