Hi, I had a robotic lobectomy (left lower lobe) on 9/20/2023. I was lucky that my lymph nodes were negative, so no chemo or radiation. No complications at all, and was out of the hospital after one day. Although I had my husband and some of my kids at home to help, I did not need any help. We didn’t know how I would be feeling, or if I would need the help. My only side effect was a constant cough, but they want you to cough afterwards. No pain coughing, which was a blessing. Now I go for a CT scan every 6 months for the next 3 years. I definitely consider myself blessed!
Best of luck to you! I am sure your surgery will be successful!
