Wow, glad they found them. I, also, had a few other tumors in the lobe they removed - only one was malignant, but they both showed up as primary “typical” carcinoid tumors, and my other lung has numerous lumps and tumorlettes. So sorry about the colon cancer, what is the status of that? have the doctor said if it’s related? My son was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 45 And aside from surgery never needed any treatment. It has been five years and he is still cancer free, thankfully. But it certainly makes me wonder of the genetics of carcinoids.

The doctor said the typical carcinoids have nothing to do with my colon cancer.
I had most of my right colon removed on March 30
It had spread to two lymph nodes. So I had a round of chemo.
I waited until now to have my lung surgery.
The surgeon told me that they do not spread. They simply grow in place.
That’s great news about your son.
