Benign carcinoid tumor in bronchi tube

@tomrennie
Yes, you’re in more of a desert climate than I am. I’m only a few miles from the coast so pretty great weather with fresh air all year around, just not enough rain. I remember seeing that Haboob on the news. Gross. I can hardly breathe just looking at it. How often does that happen? You also get the occasion monsoon with lightning that fills the sky. I would enjoy the lightening. It’s been raining steady for the past few hours, but no wind or lightning. Just right. I hope the rain makes it to you without fizzling out.

@tomrennie That is amazing
I hope this does not happen often. I would imagine there would be a lot of dust on everything, not to mention your lungs.

@jessie1990 we get them a few times a summer usually followed with storms.

@tomrennie omg that is super scary 😳

@jessie1990 you get used to them when you live here. You can see them coming from miles away. You lock up the house and watch it come through. They usually only last a few minutes.

@nannybb 100% totally agree health system here is a disaster also like I've been told in July I've a tumor I've half some of it removed in Sept and noting since then just waiting on surgery now been told don't worry about the half that was removed growing back as these tumors are very slow growing that is not maken me feel better i want it gone and was expecting it to be gone back in July not nearly 5 months after I was diagnosed

@tomrennie what causes them

@jessie1990
I was diagnosed with a mass in my lung in early January a couple of years ago. I was sent to a local pulmonary doctor and called every week for an appointment. I was told that I was next on the list. After 3 months I was finally told he was retiring. I was then sent to a pulmonary doctor in another town. In June I saw him and had a bunch of tests completed. All came back negative for cancer but…., he did not believe the tests results. He sent me to a cancer doctor where she decided to do all of the testing and more over again. Only 1 biopsy came back positive for cancer. Finally in August I had both the top and bottom right lobes removed. I had both Adenocarcinoma cancer and carcinoid cancer different cancers in the different lobes. Thank goodness the carcinoid tumors grow slowly. Waiting is a big part of this game!!! I still have more tiny carcinoids. I do not know what comes next but I doubt if they can take out any more lung tissue
Good luck during the long waits. Keep busy
My question is…. Can a carcinoid tumor turn into an Adenocarcinoma tumor????
