Any one with Neuroendocrine tumors getting the shot once a month?

Posted by amygirl @amygirl, 3 days ago

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

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

I’ve been getting two injections of 40 milligrams every 28 days for the last 3 years. Dr says probably the rest of my life… not fun but it does help control the tremors and flushing. The diarrhea not so much.

My husband gets the sandostatin shot every 28 days and is also taking xermelo three times a day for the diarrhea. Xermelo has definitely helped for the diarrhea.
