Typical Carcinoid Tumor in Lungs

Ps- I was 74 when I had my right middle lobe removed. Although my tumor was a “typical carcinoid”, it already had low grade malignancy so I was happy for it to be gone. I also have DIPNECH, but at 16 mos post op everything is still stable. Recovery wasn’t fun but so worth it, for me personally

I am not sure if I am posting in the correct place. When was your lobectomy? Four weeks ago, I had my RML removed vor a 3 cm typical carcinoid tumor. I had other issues in my lung from a maze procedure that had to be corrected. I had scar tissue and a lung hernia repaired with mesh. The surgery was 6.5 hours and done robotically. I am still in a lot of pain at the incision sites and have nerve pain even near my upper abdomen near my naval. I opted for no narcotics and just 4 gr Tylenol a day. I opted for a Alpha Lipoic Acid instead of gabapentin.
