Is it lung Cancer?

Hi Jill7517,

Thanks for the information.
Pulmonologist says stage 1, maybe 2—about 3.1 cm x 1.9 cm.

What does"chimp," mean please?

Robotics is available with a thoracic surgeon here, so I hope that is the chosen approach for me. Tumor is underneath scar tissue the pulmonologist says, so it will be a more difficult surgery.

Have appointments this week for a needle biopsy and visits to the oncologist and thoracic surgeon the pulmonologist arranged for me to get a jump on.

Should I be able to go forward with surgery, I will certainly do the 5 x 5 min. straight away. Maybe I could get to a gym, too, if I can push through the fatigue.

Your resilience is inspiring. I will keep that in the forefront of my mind.
Will let you know in several weeks how I fare.

Many thanks.
🍀 For you, too.

CHIMO

The auto-correct changed it.

If you have the wonderful robotic surgery, the access will likely not be where your scar tissue is. The incisions are in various places and the lobe is removed from an incision on your side between 2 ribs. The technology is remarkable, but very complex surgery, so a top-notch surgeon is essential. I got 3 opinions and consultations before selecting my surgeon.
