I have just been diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor in my right lung. Im a 70 yr old female. I'm told its not spread at all and am waiting to discuss treatment which im told will be either a wedge disection or a lobotomy. Its apparently quite rare and I wondered if anyone else has had the same . Im not frightened of the operation to have it removed im more worried about the convalescence as I live on my own and not sure how I will be physically and how long it takes.
