I know it’s difficult not to worry. It’s good that nodules not cancerous. Full lobe removal is prudent. Usually 2-3 days in hospital post surgery. Pls talk to hospital social worker who can arrange all types of assistance, including transportation and home help. (I do not think that hospital will release you without appropriate post op care.)

My husband’s thoracic surgeon did full left lower Lobectomy for his tumor. He stayed in hospital only 2 nights. He saw oncologist after surgery, he did 4 rounds of chemo, and now doing immunotherapy.

I know it’s happening so fast, but be glad that your surgery is scheduled right away. In hospital walk asap, and do spirometer for breathing. It’s also great that oncology is advanced now to help prevent and monitor for any future pesky cancer.

BEST WISHES. LET US INOW HOW YOU’RE DOING. IT HELPS.
