Hi, I am Ann. I have just been diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung and completed MRI and PET scan this week. I think the thoracic surgeon is recommending a lobectomy of the right upper lobe and adjacent lymph node. I am asymptomatic. No one has suggested a NET specialist - should I ask for a consult with one at this early stage?

Welcome Ann, @teal3127, I always feel that a consult with a specialist can't hurt. More info and more eyes on your case can only help! Have you found the NET group on Mayo Connect?
