Just off a virtual call with the doctors. They are putting me on a regimen of monthly Octreotide injections to shrink the tumors and reduce the carcinoid symptoms.

I hope that the Octreotide injections are helpful to you in managing the carcinoid symptoms as well as reducing the tumors.

When will you be having your first injection?

I understand you have had neuroendocrine tumors for many years. Were you receiving any treatment prior to Feb 2023 when you started octreotide shots?

I was recently diagnosed with metastatic liver neuroendocrine tumors, well differentiated, grade 2 KI-67 6-8%. I am looking at starting octreotide shots are to watch and wait. Thanks for sharing.
