Had my second octreotide jab recently. Side effects? What side effects! If a drug does not qualify you for a Kojak re-make audition then it really is not trying hard enough ....
Reality check is that it was designed for ailments way worse than mine and I am just fortunate that it causes significant "collateral damage" to thymoma. Been some time since I was in treatment the first time, and it is humbling.
My thymoma is definately alive .... but I'm sure that it is being gently encouraged to return to Hell. Octreotide is a bit more stealthy in it's approach, and the proof will be in the scan in a month or so. But I've also taken both barrels from a sawn-off loaded with cisplatin ... much as I loved it though I think I can wait a bit longer before that particular repeat.
Always willing to help anyone I can.
Richard.
