Hi @sderose, thanks for the like and hug. It wasn’t that I was trying to avoid the Octreotide injections rather I decided I wanted a second opinion before beginning them, based on: first, from what I was reading on this NET Group, I didn’t seem to have the typical NET metastatic symptoms (night sweats, diarrhea, etc); second, I was a prostate cancer support group leader for 12 years and always urged newly diagnosed guys to get a second opinion as to treatment methods and third, I was a caregiver for my wife as she fought cancer and learned to always question and be very involved. My upstate NY cancer center assigns an RN Navigator to each patient (very helpful) and she had already determined that the combination of Medicare and my secondary health insurance (Hartford Life) would pay for the Octreotide treatments, although they were not going to be three / day rather once a week, I believe. I’m still symptom free, thank goodness.
