We are hopeful that the treatment will help reduce the size of the tumors again. These tumors release insulin and cause his blood sugars to drop dangerously low.(30’s & 40’s) prior to the first treatment. The folfox/5Fu and monthly OCTREOTIDE treatment that he had for 6 months had shrunk his tumors by more than 50 % and his sugars were very stable as a result. Unfortunately his latest scans showed substantial regrowth causing lower sugars. We are hopeful that this new treatment will reduce tumor size again.

I will "hope" with you that this new treatment works. Is he still taking the Octreotide injections monthly?
