Had lobectomy in 2020 still having radiating severe nerve pain.

Hi, hope all is well. I just had the top lobe removed robotically. My weekend trip to have it done, we'll turned into a nightmare. My lung collapsed twice, was in icu for over 2 months. Then another long year of hell. But today, I'm good as new!
How about you?? Oh and my tumor was found by accident. I had an mri of my neck done, and while I was arguing where my pain was, he looked further down the report and it was noted down that I had a tumor and should see a lung dr. How ironic!! Thank god for that argument! May not have been here today!

@christinesallitto, wow, I'm glad that you pushed your doc for the follow up. Sometimes we know that something isn't right and need help to determine what's wrong.
I had a cough that just didn't feel normal. I was having small spasms in my chest especially when I would try to talk. I know now that it was the enlarged lymph nodes pressing on my windpipe and larynx. I was fortunate that the first Urgent Care doc that I saw did a chest x-ray, the radiologist noted the mass in my chest, and the rest was a whirlwind of appointments. That was four years ago, and I am certainly grateful to have this extra time!
