Hi Julie- Hey, it is normal to be freaked out! I think every one of us who hear the word Cancer, has freaked out. I had it in my upper left lung. Adenocarcinoma, stage 1a. They caught it earlier (9 years) at another hospital but “dropped the ball” and never told me or my primary! I had a full body CT due to a car accident. Anyway, in March of 2023 I had a “trisegmentectomy”. I am doing fine. (They took pieces of the left lobe instead of the entire lobe). Surgery to get the cancer out is the Best option, usually. Every one wonders if they’ll be able to breathe afterwards and if they’ll be able to do the things they could before. It’s all normal thinking. I wish you well! By the way I walk about 20+ miles a week and do yard work and have a job. I go for weekend getaways with my husband, dance, etc. You must stay confident and positive!
