  • Hi Freda, 

    I'm sorry to hear you've recently been diagnosed with a carcinoid tumour on your right lung and a gist tumour in your stomach. Hopefully you will hear back from others who have had the same diagnosis or who have been in a similar situation soon but in the meantime I have found some information about these types of tumours on our website that may useful. Just click here to find out more about carcinoid tumours and here to read more about gist tumours.

    I hope this helps Freda and that your treatment goes well. Do keep us updated with your progress if you can, we'll be thinking of you.

    All the best,
