I became aware of the nodule in February 2023 after CT scan due to COVID .I was told that after comparing to older ct scans it was there but smaller at 4mm . I wasn’t aware. I had a pet / ct scan which showed some low activity 1.8 in lung area .. was told ct scan in 12 weeks .
But prior to this I had been experiencing rapid heartbeat, hot flash .. intense anxiety… especially after COVID but prior also it started 2 years ago . I have hypothyroidism but the levels were always good. Kept feeling the same feelings off and on..I always had pvc / pac but they became more intense along with night sweats ..and day sweats (suddenly) then over then repeated..thank you for the list of doctors..made an online request for appointment ..any additional suggestions will be helpful and support ..trying to not focus on it too much cause I don’t have definitive diagnosis just watch / wait and suspicious of carcinoid

Keep learning about NETs and educating yourself. As you do not yet have a diagnosis, you do have some time to learn as much as you can. Has any blood work or other tests been done to further diagnose NETs?

Here are some tests/scans recommended by the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation for diagnosing and follow up for NETs.

On the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation website, you can view videos of doctors talking about this diagnosis. Some you will find are on the staff of Mayo Clinic.

You are wise to not focus too much on this right now. Has it been suggested that this might possibly be a Long COVID problem?
