My hubs was diagnosed in 2019 with an intestinal blockage. Surgery revealed he had the NET that originated in his intestines with an outside lymph node that was positive. After a dotatate pet scan it revealed it had Metairie to the liver. Stage 4. He was stable with the Octreatide (Sandostatin) shot until Oct of 2022 pet scan. That showed that the tumors had grown and spread in the liver. Surgery for the liver was in Feb of 2023. Of the 9 samples, 7 plus the gallbladder bladder were positive for cancer. He removed the gallbladder and then it was discussed and decided to start the Lutathera treatment. This was to get him back on a stable basis with just the shot. He has only had 1 treatment of 4. Then we wait for months after that to do another scan to see if that worked. Praying it does.
