Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have carcinoid tumor.  It is a neuroendocrine tumor, and can be fatal.  You should go to search for all possible site for metastasis.  Get exact stage and spread.  Then take further treatment accordingly.  Chemotherapy is helpful in metastatic disease. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
