I have been on Lanreotide for 11 months now, and Octreotide for the previous 13 years. The Octreotide started causing granulomas at the injection site, which are hard, painful knots where the drug was just sitting there rather than dispersing.

Other than that, I manage well with both drugs, with minimal side affects. Bloating, gas, and diarrhea are common for me, but I consider this a fair trade-off as I'm still here!

Hugs to you on this next part of your journey!
