Benign carcinoid tumor in bronchi tube
Hi I've been diagnosed with a benign typical carcinoid tumor in my bronchi tube in right lung was found when I went to A&E with pneumonia back in July of this year I've had 2 bronchoscopys 2 biopys which showed benign carcinoid tumor I was sent for ct scan mri scan and pet scan pet scan was clear I was put under general anesthetic as my lung specialist said he might be able to remove tumor by going down my throat instead of haven surgery but didn't work but he was able to take 40% of tumor out as it was blocking my air way that's how pneumonia set in the 40% he removed also came back benign carcinoid 1 lymph node was removed and checked also clear now I need surgery to remove the rest I'm so confused as doctor said its a benign tumor then Google is telling me it's a low grade cancerous tumor but doctor nor lung specialist said anything about cancer just said its benign doesnt benign mean non cancerous and can any one tell me how surgery went thank you bless you all xx

2 Reactions@nannybb yes my lung is still partially callapsed because the tumor was totally blocking my tube that's how i got pneumonia back in July my tube was blocked completely but I've had half the tumor removed in Sept but I still have lung pain 😢
@nannybb was surgery long they told me anywhere between 2 to 5 hrs
@nannybb yes anxiety and depression goes hand and hand is it really exhausting battling it every day and it's got 100 times worse since I've found out I've tumor in my lung 🥹
@nannybb it's crack cocaine here and heroin are the main drug on the streets cork City wasn't really bad it got really bad when covid hit every few days there was people dying from overdosing I've had 3 people I new from many years ago die on same day from heroin over dose last year dubin is same every second person you see in the city is on drugs so so scary
@nannybb messy means trouble 🤣 every time you go to a pub there's is always trouble fighting and arguments every occasion that happens here in Ireland Christmas paddy's day Easter Halloween its all about alcohol 🤣
@nannybb were you waiting long for surgery I've had half of tumor removed on 5th of Sept I still have to wait till middle of Dec for more surgery I've asked nurse do i need to worry about the half that was taking out in Sept growing back she said no
Actually, the surgeon wanted to initially operate right away. I asked if it could be another month out, as I was having some other issues that needed to be looked at first. (My heart was skipping beats and I had to wear a heart monitor). I also had enlarged red blood cells. They never found out what that was about. I did have to wait for the needle aspiration post-op. Not super long, but long enough to make me anxious. Did they take any lymph nodes on you?
@jessie1990 That would really bother me. I cannot stand to see one human hurting another. (Or hurting an animal for that matter). That would keep me at home. "Messy" indeed.
