That’s a good question for the NET specialist. No one has suggested to me that that could happen so I’m guessing if it can it’s not common. Again, these are generally so slow growing that should be a comfort. It took a dozen years for my small typical carcinoids to double in size. After decades most of mine are around 1 cm give or take. We destroyed the only large one the size of a walnut and it has not come back in the 4.5 years since. I also just read there is only a 4% chance of recurrence for typical lung carcinoids. That should all be encouraging to you. You’ll be around to watch your kids grow up. 😊
