Welcome, @4237220. I agree with @maya8238 that it sounds like the cancer has been caught early and surgery may be the only necessary treatment. The information you've been given so far does leave the door open for asking more questions. I think you need better clarification.

Carcinoid tumor is a type of neuroendocrine tumor that grows from neuroendocrine cells. Carcinoid tumors are a type of slow-growing cancer that can occur in different places your body, usually in the digestive tract (stomach, appendix, small intestine, colon, rectum) or in the lungs.

@hopeful33250 is familiar with carcinoid tumors of the GI tract. She may be able to help you with questions to ask your cancer care team.

@4237220, has your surgery been scheduled already?
