Hello @sandy23,

The person who recently mentioned bone METs is @jenntx10. I hope that she will answer some of your questions about her situation.

I can't say that I've heard of hearing issues or wobbliness being caused by octreotide or NETs in general, however everyone does deal with meds and disorders differently. By "wobbliness" do you mean dizziness or gait/balance problems?

Hi Teresa,
I'll have to go back and reread the partb about the bone.
As far as his wobblyness, we were told the same, shouldn't be related to the shot. We knew it was a long shot but in my research it did state that hearing loss can happen in very rare cases. His family Dr is involved in his case and had sent him to PT. It's not vertigo, he's already adjusted his meds so he said let's try the PT. Since he has nerve damage the dr feels the wobblyness may be bc there's some dirt of crystals or whatever in the ear that may be off. In sure the terminology is incorrect. In PT they've established where the unbalance is coming from so now they are working on that. And yes it's his gait.... hopefully the PT will help. If not, his family Dr will look at his meds again but he really feels it's the inner ear. He may need to just learn to deal with it. His hearing loss is permanent, so last thought would be a hearing aid. However, that's doubtful since he won't go for it. So, well see how things go. Thank you for your info.
