@sstiffel64, if I understand correctly, genetic testing showed that your lung tumor is a genetic mutation, namely multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). As you likely were told MEN1 is a hereditary condition associated with tumors of the endocrine (hormone producing) glands.

You may also wish to join the discussions in the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) support group, like this one:

While she doesn't have MEN1, @lls8000 also has a genetic lung cancer type.

@sstiffel64, how do the results of the genetic testing affect your treatment plan? What are next steps for you?
