I had a upper left lobectomy in 2015 for stage 1 adeno lung cancer. I also have CoPD.
The surgery was VATS. Yes, it was painful, yep, took a while to recover. But I went to my normal life….no limitations.
Played pickleball avidly, taught a senior exercise class. Our bodies are amazing at overcoming obstacles if we can remain postive and hopeful. I didn’t have anything further as far treatment then.
Be thankful you have been given this opportunity to hold onto life.
More to my story…10 years of cancer free scans!!!
