That is interesting. How did they find it?

I caught RSV & Aspergillus on a European trip. Went to ER directly from the airport and ended hospitalized for 7 days. Was treated for that. Had to take meds for 42 days for Aspergillus. later saw a pulmonologist to check that lungs were cleared up. He ordered a CT and was concerned. Sent me for a PET and a couple of areas looked suspicious. Recommended a biopsy. Went to Mayo and biopsy which tested for typical neuroendocrine carcinoids. When the surgery was done turned out the largest nodule was an inflamed granuloma and a few very tiny carcinoids. It was a slow journey, from June 23 2023 to Jan 20 2024 from diagnosis to surgery. I could have had surgery a little soon, but was told the type carcinoid is so slow growing there was no rush. I opted to wait a couple of months, go thru the holidays, and try to exercise at the Y to help cardio and strength to recover easier.
