What should I expect from lung carcinoid surgery at age 70?

Please ask why. Get an understanding of the purpose for the surgery. Best of luck to you on Tuesday, I will say a prayer for a speedy recovery. I'm glad you spoke up.

Susan W I had left lung surgery I had 1/3 of my lung removed I am 79 and I refused chemo and radiation. My husband did some research and found that Turkey tail and Chaga mushroom are good for finding cancer cells I had stage 3 and I have been cancer free for 15 months. Good luck with the surgery I will be praying for you on Tuesday stay positive. It will take a few weeks to feel better . If you need someone to talk to let me know and I will send you my cell phone. 💙🙏💙

Hello Susan, I was just diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor left lower lobe of my lung. Doctor says they are not sure if it’s typical or atypical, but they will do a lobectomy. I’m also almost 70, single and live alone. I’m nervous about how long I will be dependent on others when I come home from the hospital. Would love to know how yours goes when you have a chance. I’m wishing the best for you.!
