My lab reports are all in the positive range; my doctor is optimistic. I plan to move to Page this spring. What are the side effects of Octreotide?
Brief Answer:
You can call and fix an appointment with Banner Health Page Hospital !!!
Detailed Answer:
It's Dr. Hanif with a warm welcome. Thanks for visiting and trusting HCM. I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns.
Octreotide has its own side effect and safety profile but it has a lot of benefits too that outweigh the risks. Octreotide lowers excess hormonal secretions by tumors, and also helps in managing the diarrhea caused by cancer. That's why your Physician is convinced about carrying it on. And, you should not discontinue any medications before prior permission of your treating Physician.
I wish your shifting goes well and best wishes for the best times ahead. There are many clinics in Page area AZ. I preferably recommend you with Banner Health Page Hospital. ( https://www.YYYYY.com/Locations/Arizona/YYYY/Programs+and+Services/YYYY/_Cancer+Care+Services.htm )
