@burdyblue, I'm so glad that you found the care that is a good fit for you. Having a compassionate team that you trust can certainly ease a stressful situation. 9 days is quick, resulting in less time to worry! That's great.
I'm glad that some others have piped in to answer some of your surgical questions. Many people recover quite well from a lobectomy. All situations are different but having a trusted care team that can respond to concerns post-surgery is important too.
The biomarker testing may provide additional information on what's driving the cancer at a cellular level. Sometimes a targeted therapy (pills) may be prescribed to help combat the cancer post-surgery. That all depends on the driver of the cancer.
Best of luck to you next week! Hugs.
