    I had right lung upper lobe wedge resection done on 4/01/24. Doing well no other cancer found in pathology report .as it turns out I only had squamous cells o.4cm in 1 nodule. Still have some minor nerve discomfort at times but it is getting better. Only further treatment at this time is to have periodic CT scans every 6 months for 2 years. Good luck to all who are going through this. Very informative interview ❤

    I had right upper VATS lobectomy in August 23. My nodule was 8mm and turned out to be a squamous cell carcinoma. I also had three lymph glands removed and thankfully the cancer was completely excised.
    My recovery was uneventful, with only mild discomfort from the intercostal nerves. I only had sporadic periods of breathlessness which faded within weeks of my surgery.
    I have had a further CT scan and have an appointment on May 13th with the thoracic team for a check up. I’m feeling very positive about things and can’t thank then enough.

    I just got an appointment with a pulmanoligist. They were gonna get me scheduled for a breathing test. I thought they were joking and told them to f-off. I just want to get a biopsy and see if thease nodules are cancer or what?

      I saw 2 pulmonologists before I found one that wanted to talk biopsy instead of breathing tests. Of course the first 2 prescribed the most expensive COPD medications.
