Hi all last year on my routine scans it was picked up 3 of my nodules had grew and looking suspicious. So I had biopsy on my top left one it came back carcinoid cancer. They then tried to biopsy top right unsuccessful.so it was decided to remove top right one this was diagnosed atypical carcinoid. The middle right one is in an awkward place to biopsy. So the plan now is to stars on these injections. To either shrink or maintain them. Then next year they want to remove the top left tumor. I asked how long I would be on injections he said for life.
My question is as anyone had these injections?
1 symptoms
2 side effects
3 do you have to do injections ya self.
4 did they work
Sorry for going on but I'm ment to be starting treatment on Wednesday and I'm so unsure about them.
Thanks for reading id appreciate any replies take care
