First Lanreotide Injection: Any tips about diet and side effects?

Morning!
My primary was on my ilieum which metastasized to my liver and pancreas. I was diagnosed in April of 2022. I also get Lanreotide every 28 days. The first several months I had severe cramping afterwards for a day. I found that a heating pad helped me a lot! Now, I get the shot and I have no side effects at all. I also eat a plant based diet, no processed foods or sugar. I juice a lot and take Essiac tea and other supplements. The measurable tumors I do have on my liver have reduced in size two times.
Good luck to you and I hope this helps a bit.

I started taking Lanreotide 2/15/23. I had similar side effects at first until full blockage and subsequent removal of SI- NET and 10in SI, GB and some lymphnodes. I was eating small portions and plant based diet. Now im eating chicken, pasta and bread too. Ive gained back 15lbs of the 30lbs i lost prior to surgery. No more bloating or abdomen pains so feeling great. What did you do to shrink the liver NETS? I still have liver and stomach NETS id like to shrink or remove. What is a good source for NET appropriate diet?
Do you mind sharing what brand of Essiac tea you used, ty

Thank you so much for the reply! Will you give me more details on the tea and supplements. I am losing weight & had already lost 20 lbs and need to gain some, so I’m not sure how this will happen on such a strict diet. I still can’t find a list of foods to avoid.
