Hello @sophiarose

Personally, I have never taken either octreotide or lanreotide so I do not know the difference between the two. I understand that one is easier to inject than the other. Here is an article from the National Library of Medicine about the two different medications, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6643159/. I hope some of our members who have used these meds will be able to answer this question for you. Also, this might be a good question to ask the NETs support group on the first Thursday of each month.

The fact that the primary NET is unknown is a common problem. Have you had a Gallium 68 scan to try to determine where the primary is located?
