Hi Ralph,
We use a list of criteria when choosing where to get treatment. Location and proximity are important factors.

How long is your treatment plan? Are you managing the side effects okay?

So far no side effects...i do not know how long I can be on sandostatin. The claim from the oncologist is that patients have been in it for years...although I do not know how true that is.<br />

@lucci50 How are you doing with the sandostatin injections? Are they helping your symptoms? I know you were going to the Cleveland Clinic. Do you still check in with them? Teresa
