Any one with Neuroendocrine tumors getting the shot once a month?
I have heard there is side effects to the once a month shot( unsure of the name) what has any one experienced?

Hi! I have been receiving Octreotide injections once a month for about a year now. For me, the first few months caused some fatigue but it’s hard to say if it is from the shots or the cancer itself. I am stage 4 and my cancer has metastasized to my liver. I recently finished 4 rounds of Lutathera radiation in conjunction with the shots. I haven’t really noticed any ill effects of the shots personally and I will be receiving them every month for the rest of my life. I hope this helps:) Prayers and well wishes for you…
