It only destroyed the one tumor. Tumors will have to be destroyed one by one as needed but only when needed. I also take octreotide injections to manage symptoms and slow growth even more. Luckily they are very slow growing typical carcinoids which is neuroendocrine cancer. It’s rare, only 1% of lung cancer cases but luckily treatable. Hoping whatever yours is will be treatable as well. Yours seems slow growing as well. My treatment is by a university hospital. I’m sure Mayo would do this procedure if appropriate for your case.
