It progressed for fast. He had been feeling bad since Nov but kept putting of going to the doctor. Then end of Jan the pain got worse and he went but the doctors to long in testing him and it was to late. He really never had any symptoms till the end. i miss him so much. hope everything goes will for you.

Close Carcinoid Syndrome
I have known I've had carcinoid for four years and it's been quite a journey. One saving grace for me is that I have never had a "why me!!!!!!!!!!!!!" attitude. I will whine when I don't feel well or when I am in that week before my next $5000 shot. I have since met two people in person who also have carcinoid--that's been really good for me to find someone who UNDERSTANDS me.
Treatments
- Octreotide Working / Worked
- I am getting these wonderful shots once a month and for the most part, they are working. I have the bonus of being of a a "certain" age where I can't tell if I am flushing or if I am having hot flashes. I do get a PMS-ish week right before my next shot is due.
