My husband has recently been diagnosed and will be having the Octriotide Scan in a couple of weeks, looking for other sites I guess. Hopefully he can start treatment with Lanreotide soon after. Anyone have any info on these things?

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one ever really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis.

    A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.

    I had a totally different type of cancer but the Online Community has various support groups and I see you have found and joined our Neuroendocrine tumours group, this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

    Follow the link I've created above then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    You may also find our Carers only, and Family and friends groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.

    Its always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support or just a listing ear.

    The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here for more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    All the very best.
