I assume you mean lower left lobe not lung. I too had a similar nodule removed by wedge resection from right upper lobe. Four months later I did an angioplasty and they put in a stent. I discovered I had lung cancer and cardiac blockage at same time....so I could postpone the angioplasty - they put me on medication instead- and I did the lung surgery first because with Plavix dual anti-platelet medication for at least 6 months, one has to postpone any surgery. I certainly did not want to postpone lung cancer surgery! All went well, I was driving my car one week after surgery, and putting in a cardiac stent is painless. I was 80 years old at the time. Very best wishes, and remember to exercise after surgery!
