carcenoid cancer

just diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor in my lung, in the centre of right lung,mid and lower lung is now deflated due to the tumor blocking it, I am waiting to see the consultant to confirm what he saw during the bronchoscopy, and await the histology and biopsy results, this feels like a very lonely time and a very scary time, trying to stay positive but  its hard, anyone had carcenoid cancer?????

  • Thanks Chrissie, only got the diagnosis I week ago so waiting for biopsy results to check for spread, it seems such a long wait I want the proper full diagnosis but whilst you wait you are in limbo, once again thanks for responding

    Hi Hyacinth,

    I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Like Chris, I have breast cancer, so I’m not much use to you. My mother had secondary cancer in her brain, bones, lungs and liver. She died 20 years ago, but fortunately, treatments have come a long way since then. Can I suggest that you go to the blue banner at the top of this page? Pop in your type of cancer in the search box and it will bring up previous posts on this topic.

    This is always one of the scariest times of your cancer journey and, no doubt your mind is working overtime?

    I do hope that you don’t have long to wait before you get your results.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
