My husband also has one in the small intestine that metastasized to the liver & spine, he has been on the Octreotide Injection for about 16 mos. & it has had no growth with MRI scans , The dr. said he would eventually like him to have it removed .

Hello @katinka58 and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I am glad to hear that your husband's situation with NETs has been stabilized with the monthly injections.

How long ago was your husband diagnosed? Was he having symptoms that led to the diagnosis?
