My husband was diagnosed with NETs 5 years ago, had surgery and had been followed every 3 months. His latest PET scan in October showed new activity and a single leision on his liver. No symptoms of any significance. Started Lanreotide in November and worried about side effects. But we've been happy to discover the shots have been easy. Had some weird joint aches about 2 weeks after the shot the first 3 times, but since then he feels like the only possible side effect had been an increase in gas. Nothing tough to live with. He's about to get his next PET and we are hoping and praying for a good result! Hope all goes well with you!

The side effects don't sound that bad at all. I was so afraid of them being like the chemo my Dad had years and years ago that were so debilitating. Thanks for your reply, and good luck with the PET. Please keep me informed of his results!
