Thank you Lisa. Ya my husband n family are there. The surgery went well. In the hospital it was very good. Almost painless. But once i reached home i got a bit of cough . While talking i get. The doc did a xray but was okay. A bit of heaviness on the right side is there ...i am just 45 n i never had any addiction plus i have been a sports person also. Dont understand how i got it. My moms mom had cancer of colon so may be genetic. I want to find peers so am here. The dic has suggested 4 cycles of chemo n then if lung panel report is positive he said pills daily for 3 years...details they will tell later..i had taken 1 week leave n tgen started working from home. But fully healed i dont feel yet after 2 weeks too. I just wanted to know if you have a watsapp group. If yes i f you can add me to it.

Hi @sanyogita15, it sounds like you’ve done remarkably well after surgery. A cough and some pain is expected, your body has been through a lot and will need some time to heal.
Being so young and low-risk for lung cancer, you may have a gene mutation. I’ll be interested to hear the results of the testing. There are many of us here that have one of those types of lung cancer (EGFR, ALK, RET, etc.). While no one deserves cancer, there is likely nothing that you did to cause this, and it may not even be genetic from your mother. Sometimes biology makes mistakes and our immune systems just aren’t able to fix us. I’m sorry that you are facing this, there are many of us that understand what you are going through.
