Hello! Diagnosed with large Right lower lobe carcinoid tumor Jan. 2023. Robotic surgical removal of right lower lobe and lymph nodes near tumor. 4 day hospitalization. Surgeon was confident he got it all and nodes were negative. Every 6 month screening tests have been negative so far. I do use an inhaler now for vigorous exercise. I did not do well on pulmonary function tests and was worried about surgery. I was determined to get out of bed to walk and move apparently starting in the recovery room so I was told. Even if hurts -move as much as possible.

Hello @tonyhasumners

It is good to hear from you again now that you are post-surgery. You must be very pleased to have the surgery behind you. That is wonderful that you are determined to walk as much as possible. It sounds like you are on the right road.

Regular follow ups are very typical after carcinoid surgery. Do you have a date for your next follow up?
