Things have been up and down for me since I got home from the hospital. On a positive note, I was able to finally go on the long acting dose of sandostatin, something I have not been able to do up until this point. The sandostatin is the recommended treatment for the neuroendocrine tumor but up until now I haven't been able to tolerate the side effects well enough to go from short acting shots to the more effective long acting. So far things are OK, but I am on so many different medications it's hard to tell what is doing what.
The steroids I am on are giving me a hard time. I want to eat constantly, which is a problem because I am also trying to control my blood sugar. I sweat a lot more as well and feel anxious. I'm taking xanex which helps some.
I have an appointment with the GI doctor today, so we'll see what he has to say about how things are going.
