Hi @jogessert

I met a lady through LACNETS.org that had a single 9 cm lung carcinoid removed 10 years ago (not sure if typical or atypical) and has not had any other issues since. They removed the lobe it was in. She didn't have any resulting respiratory issues from it. She has continued to have annual scans. Great success story and I believe she was 70 when she had the surgery. I pray that one and done success will be the case for you as well.

I have low grade, typical, neuroendocrine carcinoids, but too many (50+) to remove. They did microwave ablation on the largest one (2.6 cm) to destroy it so it wouldn't metastasize. They are keeping tabs on all the others and will do ablation again if any others suddenly grow faster than the rest of the pack.
