I was diagnosed with a carcinoid lung tumor earlier this year and subsequently went on to have a bilobectomy of my right middle and lower lobes. I am now going to be monitored for the next 10 years, a lung CT scan every six months for the first two years and then one every year for the following eight years. I will only be 36 when monitoring stops. I understand that the recurrence of this type of tumor is incredibly low but so were the chances of getting it at this age in the first place. Additionally, a lot of what I have found online indicates that recurrence tends to happen elsewhere in the body. My tumor was previously missed on two scans and I am feeling incredibly anxious about the possibility of recurrence elsewhere in the body and not knowing because the CT isn’t covering that part of my body. Has anyone here ever experienced recurrence of a carcinoid tumor? Or does anyone have any advice in how to deal with this feeling? Thank you x
