I met a lady through a NETs organization who told me she had a lung lobe removed due to a 9 cm NETs tumor. She was 70 and is now 80 and has had no additional NETs issues. She just has a CT scan once a year. Also didn’t have any respiratory issues from the surgery and she feels great. I’m very hopeful that those of you with a single tumor or tumors in the same lobe will be one and done with surgery and go on to be NETs free for life. Prayers for you that you’ll heal quickly.

Thank you!
I am 72. They found these carcinoids on CT for colon cancer.
I had colon surgery and a round of chemo.
Now having lung surgery.
I really would like to communicate with someone who had the same surgery.
The colon surgery was no problem .. out of hospital the day after surgery.
I think this one is going to be harder.. don’t like idea of chest tube! 😩
