I’m just a few steps ahead of you in this process. Went to Europe in June. Came home with viral pneumonia and aspergillus infection. After taking meds for that, followup CT scan showed a small spot in right lung that has grown a little since last CT. Mayo did a bronchoscopy this week. I’ve been reading test results as they are posted. Much of it is difficult for me to interpret but with the help of the internet I have looked up definitions. I’m expecting a phone call from Mayo regarding next steps because it appears I have a carcinoid tumor. Like you, I live alone, my only son & daughter-in-law live 3 hours from me. Time to start a plan how to manage the changes ahead. Hope you can have care if needed at Mayo.
