I had a lung tumor found on a CT scan for my heart. It lit up on a PET scan and was referred to a pulmonologist who thought it might be a good idea to do a biopsy. I opted to get a second opinion from Memorial Sloane Kettering and I’m so glad I did! I was seen within a week, and my Dr. immediately suspected a carcinoid, tumor, and possible DIPNECH! I ended up with a right middle lobe lobectomy, andDIPNECH diagnosis. I am forever grateful my doctor was so knowledgeable and skilled. Recovery took some time as I was 74 then. It’s been 2 1/2 years of being scanned every six months for follow up, but I am still stable with no changes thankfully so I’m switching to once a year CT scan. I was told they don’t usually remove the tumors until they get a certain size or become a problem, but in my case, there were several in one lobe, and one of them had grown and had some malignancy, so they removed the lobe. Thankfully, my symptoms are not real severe, so I am not on any treatment at this point.
