NETs growing despite 3 months of cap/temo
I've been on cap/temo for 3 months, with some very annoying side effects. Just got the results of CT scan. My two tumors have grown. My Louisville oncologist is suggesting standard chemo and having a port installed. He says without that I can expect 6 to 12 months before my tumors become terminal.
I have requested an appointment with Dr. Hobday at Mayo in Rochester whom I’ve seen before. I hope he will give me recommendation for best treatment. I have not heard back yet.

The tumors are grade 3 but well differentiated.
I am not a doctor ......
Have you had a PET scan?
Depending on results your team may consider PRRT
