I had 2 typical lung carcinoids diagnosed a little over a year ago. One was in the upper lung and the other the lower. I did 5 rounds of sbrt radiation on them . So far so good! Had ct scans with contrast every 3 months with no evidence of disease and now going to 6 months. I also get monthly sandostatin injections. Thinking of you.

I have been just diagnosed with a bronchial carcinoid. I thought my only option was surgical removal, possibly including part/all of the right lung. Was this an option for you? What was the process leading to your treatment. I honestly feel like I have had no process.
