@californiazebra just a quick question did your typical carcinoid spread to your lymph nodes I've had one lymph node checked it was clear so I'm wondering if one was clear will the rest be clear

No. I do not recall having lymph nodes biopsied when I had my lung biopsy in 2020 but in all the years I’ve had the typical carcinoids there has been no indication that lymph nodes are involved. They have told me no lymph node involvement. I’ve had tons of CT scans for monitoring. Still diagnosed as stage 1 after decades.
I just read only 5-10% of typical carcinoids spread to lymph nodes.

@jessie1990 also if my biopys were benign typical carcinoid when I get surgery done do I need to worry about it been atypical as I've read its all down to final exam of the tumor
