In addition to following all your healthcare providers' instructions, taking your medicines, and keeping all your appointments, you can help manage carcinoid tumor by learning as much as you can about the disease and taking an active role in your treatment.

Here are some other management suggestions:

• Make sure you follow a nutritious, high-protein diet.
• Avoid alcohol and foods that trigger carcinoid symptoms.
• Avoid stress as much as possible.
• Ask your healthcare provider about the medicines you take. Some medicines, such as decongestants, asthma inhalers, and antidepressants, may trigger or make carcinoid symptoms worse.
• Join a support group to learn more about carcinoid tumors and share your feeling with others.
• Try mind-body exercises like yoga or tai chi to help reduce anxiety and stress.
• Try other ways of managing emotional stress: guided imagery, meditation, music therapy, and journaling.
• Before appointments, write down your questions and bring them with you. For support during your appointments, bring a family member or close friend with you.
