Hi @ce1b -- I think you have a great attitude. I agree with your thoughts. Is your lung carcinoid typical or atypical? Mine is typical and I was told it's much less likely to metastasize than other lung cancers, but that's why they will destroy any that reach 2 cm. I'm sorry to hear about what they are telling you.
My brother had regular lung cancer even though he never smoked. It was already stage 4 when diagnosed. They discovered he had 24 brain tumors and they destroyed them all with gamma knife radiation. They do it with lasers in something similar to a CT scan machine. It was non-surgical. So if it does spread to your brain, know there is still treatment available. He was laughing and talking to us shortly after the procedure. It didn't impact his cognitive abilities or positive spirit. No one could make me laugh like he could.
Enjoy making all your new memories! Blessings to you as well! 🙂
