Carcinoid tumor

I just want to share my experience and see if anybody on here can relate. Im not sure where to start but from the years 2021-2024 i lost multiple jobs and I had over fifteen E.R visits and was diagnosed with everything from pneumonia to bronchitis and was told i had a collapsed lung. The day after halloween 2024 I went back to the E.R and was even told I had sepsis and was literally told I would die if I left the hospital. I had a gut feeling something wasnt right so I had a second opinion the next morning at a new hospital and was told within an hour that I had a tumor blocking my middle and upper lobes of my right lung. I also found out the first hospital had a red flag on my account. November 22nd I had a bi-lobectomy and 2 lobes of my lung were removed. I was 34 years old when I had my surgery. The only medication I was prescribed was gabepentin and it did absolutely nothing so the healing process wasn't easy. Its been well over a year now and im doing great!
