Thanks Everyone.
I had a "RATS" procedure -Removal of Right upper lobe. There was a narrow nodule which lit up on a PET scan, The mass was found because of a routine CT scan done after I had severe case of Pneumonia. The oncologist referred me to the surgeon who was great in his willingness to explain things and complete and clear description of the procedure. When I rode home after 2 days and nights in the hospital I felt pretty well along on recovery. But improvement slowed down considerably in the week after discharge. Now it hurts like hell. I am headed for an exam tomorrow. Some tape needs to be removed but otherwise you wouldn't notice. . .
