Dear a H,
I had the treatment at Excel in Houston on April 5 after a week of testing there. The treatment, itself, was completely without any side effects and lasted for about five hours, just sitting in a chair with an IV.
When I first came home, I was a little more tired than usual, but feeling fine. I am still feeling better than I have in years and my doctor here says my blood work is perfect.
In order to tell the actual results of treatment, I will have to have another Octreoscan to compare with the one they did before the treatment, but the doctor there was very encouraging and, again, I feel wonderful for the first time in ages. I walked 7 miles the other day and I am 61 years old.
Believe me, I was skeptical at first, but now I would encourage you to look into it with the advice of your doctor. My doctor felt it was the ONLY option for me without ruining my quality of life and the only way for a POSSIBLE cure. (They don't promise anything, however).
