Peter, what is an SSA injection?
I am surprised a CT scan in June would not return results in over a month. I hope it’s back by now and the results are positive!

Hi @gamaryanne

I see that @stageivsurvivor has given you some information on SSA injections.

Here is a link to specific information. As you can see, it is used to treat neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
