@tomrennie I've rang clinic 4 times today no answer I will try ring again tomorrow I'm just wondering there was 40% of the tumor removed in Sept I've had one lymph node checked the 40% came back benign also and lymph node was also clear I'm wondering if one lymph node was clear is there a high chance rest is clear and if it was confirmed benign/typical carcinoid do I need to worry about it been atypical when the rest is removed when it's sent to be tested after removal

@jessie1990 My net tumors were never classified as typical or atypical. The growth rate of my pnets are measured on a ki-67 grading scale. I am unaware of any instances where the growth rate changes. Lymph node involvement usually begins near the primary tumor. I agree with your logic that if a nearby lymph node was benign, then anything further away should be the same. This is an example of why a specialist is really important. Please keep trying. We are fortunate to have the input of @californiazebra. She will help you ask more specific questions about lung carcinoids during your next appointment.
