Why did you have a lobectomy? Were you told you'd be cured?

Yes. Husband had LL Lobectomy
- Thoracic surgeon said clean cut.
- Pulmonologist said no need for chemo or radiation, just monitoring.
- Oncologist said need chemo. Midway thru, NSCLC showed in adrenal gland, but chemo eliminated it. CtDNA blood test showed 0% cancer. Now doing immunology for “insurance”, but petct shows small mass on back of left lung.
Lesson learned: NSCLC is never over and done.

Thank you. How long was it between o cancer and small mass coming back and will he go through chemo or surgery or radiation, do you know, if the mass is cancerous? Best wishes for him!
