Thank you for sharing your experiences. That is what I was hoping for when I signed up on this site. What has your experience been with chocolate, especially dark chocolate. It is one of the no-no’s I have read about and one of the favorite things I will miss most, but have been afraid to try out.

Chocolate and I are really good friends, and I refuse to give up my simple pleasures! Life is too short!
Just pay attention to the recommendations, and if a particular thing doesn't work for you, you'll know, if that makes sense.
I've been living with NETs for over a decade, and plan to die WITH cancer, not OF cancer!

I have been on Lanreotide injections since March 2023. I have Stage 4 pNET with liver metastases. I found that avoiding tomatoes, watermelon, ripe bananas, aged cheeses, red meat works for me. I eat fish, chicken, yogurt, cottage cheese, mozarella, cream cheese, liver ( I am also anemic). A piece of dark chocolade a day. No alcohol, carbonated drinks or juices, except a glass of tart cherry juice in the morning.
