Hi @netnan, I was diagnosed with a 17mm typical carcinoid early this year. I also have many nodules from DIPNECH. After my diagnosis with bronchoscope where the lymph nodes were clear, the thoracic surgeon and oncologist suggested tumor ablation to avoid a lobectomy. I had the procedure in May and it went well and I feel good. I still have to have a CT every few months to monitor if the tumor is ‘shrinking’ and the dipnech tumorlets are stable. Hopefully I have avoided the lobectomy. I just wanted to respond to you that ablation so far, has been a good alternative for me. Best wishes and good luck.
