Kwan:
Based on our own experiences dealing exclusively with NET's:
There may be cases in which neither octreotide nor lanreotide are effective for on - going treatment e.g. tumor growth is not suppressed when using these therapies. In cases such as this, PRRT maybe be the best choice - certainly the patient's medical team & recommendations from a tumor board are important to receive and to define the best therapy path going forward.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My son was put on Everolimus for 2 weeks after an unsuccessful operation. Then he was prescribed PRRT treatment. He is now scheduled for the third treatment of PRRT. All we can do now is to wait for the response. Meanwhile he is feeling good. Not much side effect except the blood counts are low.
All the best to you and your wife.
