Thanks for all that info. I will certainly look up the website you suggested.
The carcinoids were found inadvertently through scans I was having done for colon cancer.
Good news is that are not related to my colon cancer.
I had my right colon removed robotically on March 30.
Was discharged the next day. I am recovering from that well. It was really an easy surgery.
That had to come first before carcinoid surgery.
I will need a round of chemo since the colon cancer had spread to two lymph nodes.
I have not yet with the oncologist.
Chemo will come before lung surgery
I have a wonderful team of doctors at Emory Hospital in Atlanta. Winship cancer institute
Happy to hear that the ablation went well for you and thanks for the other info.

Oh wow, dealing with two separate primary cancers is rough. I hope recovery from colorectal cancer surgery continues to go well.

Here are a few discussions related to lobectomy that may interest you:

Do you know if you will have robotic surgery? When will you start chemo?
