Hi PaigeB, Sorry to hear that you're coping with carcinoid. However, take heart. I am going on my 12th year of having carcinoid tumors. I was operated on almost 12 years ago to remove the main tumor, but it had metastasized to my liver before they found the main one. Currently, I am getting injections of Sandistatin LAR Depot every 28 days. I have been through many surgeries, and had to have two sessions of chemoembolations on my liver. I am tired constantly, but have been seeing a therapist for quite awhile to deal with a lot of stuff. It is very helpful, and I recommend it. I have never been given chemo nor radiation, because my oncologist has said it isn't recommend for me. Your oncologist feels differently. I urge you to hang in there and don't give up. If I can survive this long, you can, too! Be good to yourself. Find out what you can about relaxation techniques and practice them. If possible, seek the help of a therapist. Send me a message anytime you want. Hugs and prayers to you from Grammyma0April 2016
