I am no expert on these matters but I do suspect that many of us need to find our particular workarounds for the side effects. Ochtreatide is supposedly results in constipation in about ten to twenty percent of users. Seems as if you have found your semi-solution in avoiding fatty foods. I am glad that you are going to see the nutritionist again. I find it helpful to see the nutritionist on a regular basis to help with keeping on track.

Two cancer diagnoses at the same time has to be rough. I know from past personal experience that aromotase inhibitors, taken for post breast cancer surgery, were rough on the body. I also needed to stop taking them. Together we are learning to self advocate and determine what our bodies and spirits require.. Managing the dietary stuff is challenging and I am sorry that you also need to watch you BP so closely. Self monitoring can feel like a full time job. Some days, I just need to create a cancer-free days where I maintain my diet routine but put aside everything and find some rest, restoration and even a bit of delight.. May you feel a moment of delight find you today.

@maeve115 Yes, I find things that bring joy or satisfaction, like my old-person's aerobic exercise class (to music!) and gardening.
I will try the nutritionist again & I have many more questions for the Doc when I see him.
Thanks again for your tips & kind remarks. You take care too!
