Am on 3L of O2, prednisone 40, and albuterol and still struggle by the time it comes for the next respiratory treatment. Will let you know how this works out. Thanks again.<br />Karen MayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-56803200640399458942010-11-01T16:46:55.237+00:002010-11-01T16:46:55.237+00:00There is no known association with CLL and carcino...There is no known association with CLL and carcinoid. Carcinoid syndrom only occurs if carcinoid has spread to liver or lungs. Local carcinoid shows up on an octreotide scan. I had one 2 years ago when they suspected that my lymph nodes were due to that, but I was negative. Octrotide can be used as a treatment for the syndrome.Terry Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346629921055055879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-34107463890640253092010-11-01T16:23:58.113+00:002010-11-01T16:23:58.113+00:00...I have followed your recent postings and would......I have followed your recent postings and would like to inquire as to the association of CLL and carcinoids. I was diagnosed with CLL 12/07 and I also had a carcinoind removed from my lung 7/08. I am now hospitalized with difficulty breathing. Scans show a cluster of "something" in the area of the bronchiole tubes. I am scheduled for an Octreotide scan on Wednesday. Have you any experience with lung involvement with CLL OR Carcinoid? I would be interested in your thoughts. Thank you.<br />Karen May<br />New Haven, ConnecticutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
