Yes, I’m being seen at a university hospital. Most university hospitals and major cancer centers have neuroendocrine programs. Don’t feel like you need to get rid of every nodule. For DIPNECH you’ll mostly just monitor because you need to preserve healthy lung tissue and any removal or ablation takes some healthy tissue with it. It’s mostly about managing symptoms if you have any. Did they say you have typical carcinoids? They are slow growing and mostly stay confined.
