He is a cancer specialist who told me he knew all about carcinoid tumors. He never mentioned them as "NETS" and I had never seen it in all my reading about this type of lung cancer.
I had a problem with seeing the post-op X-ray stating it was done for a benign tumor. That made no sense to me.
When I asked about it, he said it had to be listed that way for insurance to pay. To my way of thinking, that is backwards
First off, I was told to have surgery because the tumor had started growing. I just don't understand why it would be listed as benign. He had done a biopsy, so he should have known at that time. All he said was the biopsy showed it was cancer.
