Hi @jhhaas, I'm tagging fellow members like @mcohan @magnum2 @meryls12 @californiazebra who have experience with DIPNECH and lung nodules.
You ask a good question about whether there is anything more you can do to prevent or treat the multiple nodules that are not cancerous. My understanding is that DIPNECH requires early identification and close surveillance to prevent progression to carcinoid tumours. So regular monitoring is key. How often do you have follow-up appointments?
