Atypical carcinoid tumour of the lung

I only know that my cancer consultant, who was a younger woman and admitted to never having heard of a carcinoid tumour, told me I was being discharged from her care and would be under the care of the thoracic surgical consultant. I think that was because the surgeon is the one who deals with these tumours and actually has more experience. I’ll learn more during my face to face with her. I’ll also ask more about why I seem to be discharged from the cancer care team.

Frankly I would be content with setting those surgeons aside. Maybe a pulmonologist and oncologist instead as your care team. If you need thoracic surgeon in future get a new one 🙂
