Or no love what stage did u have a chest X-ray
I had a ct scan just before Christmas it confirmed lung cancer but I have not seen a specialist so do not no what stage the cancer is at, very confused shocked etc at the moment. Thank you for replying, I assume you are also dealing with a similar diagnosis, if you are how are you coping?
That is such good news. I hope all goes according to plan. Please keep in touch
Hi, I've also been recently diagnosed with a carcinoid lung tumour. I've had a bronchoscopy and going for a pet scan tomorrow. I've had lung/heart function tests and bloods done. I've been told that if it hasn't spread I will have surgery to remove the tumour. The wait to find out if it has spread is very difficult and I am very anxious. I've avoided reading a lot of info as I find it increases my anxiety. I have spoke with the lung nurses who have been very helpful and when I feel up to it, I plan to go to my local maggies centre for support but to be honest I'm still reeling from the diagnosis. I hope you are ok. Sending love. X
I hope your appointment goes well today. Sending love. Xx
Thank you for thinking of me, the appointment was postponed I now have to wait until Thursday. At least it's not a big delay.
how are you doing ?
Oh I'm sorry to hear that. The waiting is the worst part. I am supposed to be seeing my consultant on Thursday but it's likely that will be re-scheduled to as there was a delay in getting an appt for my pet scan and it's only happening tomorrow.
im ok I think. Still very frightened and anxious about it all but trying to get through it.
I hope all goes well for you xx
I think we need to take it one day at a time, today being an ok day. Stay well and keep in touch
Hi I found out today that I shall be meeting with the surgeon in Monday next week to discuss the procedure most likely video assisted which is less invasive. The carcinoid is contained in my lung so all being well will be a curative outcome I hope you get the same kind of news from your scan I wish you well
That's good news. Hope all goes well and thank you for your best wishes.
I am so pleased for you. Stay strong and stay in touch

Hope everyone is ok today. Hopefully I get to see the specialist tomorrow and I know more about my diagnosis. I will update when I have more information in the mean time take care all xx
I've seen the consultant today the cancer is not operable so it will be treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy to contain the cancer. Not the news I wanted but I have a chance to contain the cancer and live as long as possible. Hope everyone is doing ok today
Today my head is all over the place I can't be positive or negative I don't know what I feel, any advice please
