Hello, amk1122.
I have just finished my 3rd round of PRRT. I've also lost weight (20lbs). It seems like a constant battle to maintain weight. I'm not sure if its the carcinoid, the PRRT or the octreotide. I got nervous when I went down to 140. So regardless of appetite I made myself eat everything, including alot of Ice Cream and In-n-out. After I gained some weight back, I started eating healthier and alot of protein food and drinks. I'm still 5lbs down, but it doesn't
seem like the insurmountable struggle it was.
Good Luck
