I was diagnosed with carcinoid in an ovarian tumor 4 years ago, had
surgery to remove it along with a total hysterectomy and since then it
has been one thing after another. Now I am having pulmonary
problems and since nothing seems to help the current problems, my
physicians feel that the carcinoid "is back" and I am scheduled for a
scan next week. I would love to hear from anyone who has or had
this type of cancer. I have looked at the Carcinoid Foundation
but no one ever replies on that website. Thanks and God Bless
I
was diagnosed with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the uterus in
dec. had a total hysterectomy while in there the dr. noticed a
bulge in my appendex he took it out & it was a carcinoid
tumor. since then i've had an octresoscan to see if there was anymore
anywhere & it came back negative. there is not much information
about any of these 2 cancers i've had. they are rare i do know that.
Good luck & let us know how you make out.
