Hello @pattirushing and welcome to the NETs discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect. If you are comfortable sharing more, how long ago were your lung carcinoids diagnosed? Were you having symptoms that led to the diagnosis?

We have a discussion group on Connect where you can meet others who have lung carcinoids. Here is the link to that discussion group,

Here is a link to some information from Mayo Clinic's website about SBRT radiation,

Do you have a date yet for the beginning of the radiation treatment? Has your cancer team given you an expected duration of treatment?
