Hello, my husband was diagnosed with stage four metastatic PNET cancer last October. He has a large mass on his pancreas and 26 spots on his liver along with spots on his spine and some lymph nodes. He also began monthly lanreotide injections in November along with oral chemo: capecitabine 500 mg. along with temozolomide 100 mg. He has experienced 40% shrinkage after 6 months of treatment. He feels like he did pre symptoms. We we wish you luck in treating your cancer.

Hello @rose4jim2417 and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. What an encouraging report of your husband's tumor shrinkage after six months of treatment. You both must be thrilled with the results.

You said, "He feels like he did pre symptoms." As you are comfortable doing so, please share what type of symptoms he was having that led to the NETs diagnosis.

Did he have many side effects from the treatment?
