Hi @lls8000 , thank you so much for your follow up. Surgery was yesterday 01/09, RATS and the surgeon did wedge/sleeve cut. Rapid biology tests showed no concern to remove middle lobe or lymph nodes,.there is something but it is not agressive, he said wait for biopsy in 10 days to know more, but he was reassuring.....my nodule was SUVmax 2.1. I have another nodule of 6-7 mm didn't light up on PET scan, not clearly defined, so for this one follow up in three months. Surgery went well, they will keep me 5 days ( herr in FR they keep you 5-7 days, depending on procedure and recovery, reading that in US is much shorter stay) but with the pain glad I stay here, as they control with pills and help a lot

@milana, Sending my best, good luck with your recovery! It sounds like you have good care. You are correct a 5-7 day hospital stay in the US is nearly unheard of unless there are complications.
Hoping you receive good news from your final pathology reports too.
