Im 24 years old and have Carcinoid cancer. Found out when I was 18. Had a whipple surgery done and still have it on my liver. Just wondering what an average life span is.
Answer:
A good place to ask your question would be the ACOR carcinoid list. They currently have 748 members either with carcinoid or are caregivers. For a while my Drs suspected that I had a carcinoid tumor and while I was monitoring this list I found many very smart people there who were really up on the latest carcinoid treatments. ACOR runs lists for over 150 types of cancer and these lists are moderated to keep out spam and nut jobs.

good luck
Answer:
depends on what type of carcinoid you have. if you've had whipple's surgery, then it must have been an aggressive type. did you receive chemo for this?
