Six years ago I had the upper lobe of my right lung removed along with a dozen or so lymph nodes due to Squamous Cell Carcinoma. After pathology I was told that the doctors got it at Stage 1A and I recovered to no ill effects even with forty years of smoking and COPD.

I'm lucky that I don't use oxygen, inhalers or any breathing aids and I am 85 years old.

That is some stamina you are lucky to have. It gives me hope at 68. Thank you for sharing.
