Sandostatin Pump Yes!

Hello Mike

I saw your question posted and the answer is Yes, There is a pump for Carcinoid Syndrome patients. I have had carcinoid for 11 years and now i am on the pump. Its wonderful, no shots, the (short acting-daily) and even the LAR didn't balance me out, so my Dr. suggested the pump. I got it at Moffitt cancer center in Tampa Florida and it was the best decision ever. If you need the Dr. name email me at

. There is hope!

HI, my husband was put on this pump thru Moffitt with the help of Dr Larry Kvoles. question to you from my hubby, what levels are you up to with the SAR AND THE LAR when you took it. My husband is on between 2 and 3 thousand micrograms a day on both SAR/LAR and still feels the symtoms. It's like he can't get enough
