@pavlina60, I'm sure that's one upgrade you didn't want to get. You may appreciate this discussion about Lanreotide as you prepare for your first injection.
- Lanreotide Manufacturers: anyone have experience with either? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lanreotide-manufactures/

@kim1965, how is Kim doing? How are YOU doing?
@outlawcancer, any updates? Recovery still improving day by day?

Kim has had a rocky first week after surgery on March 1st. Went home from hospital after 5th day of surgery. On 7th day she had trouble breathing and I took her to local ER and found lung infection in one lung, was transferred to surgery hospital to monitor and readjust some of the blood thinning medications. I have her back home on Friday resting comfortably. Per surgeon, we only have some very small tumors in right lobe of liver, and will probably resume Lanreotide injection and resume CAP/Tem Chemo pills once she heals from surgery to further reduce remaining cancer and then remove right lobe of liver to knock this NETway down to a mtn. Only issue going forward. Let me know if anyone has any questions on our progress that I can share that might help your case.
