8 mm lung nodule possible malignancy: What should I do?

I’m scheduled for segmentectomy at Mayo on Oct. 10. 9mm nodule grew by 1 mm at ct scan last week.
My cat scans and even a negative bronchoscope with lymph tests have revealed no lymphadenopathy. I’m hoping this holds true at pathology exam following surgery.
How was recovery for segmentectomy? Does your case resemble mine in any way? Thanks.

Best wishes with your surgery. Seems you are in good hands. I had robotic segmentectomy left lower area of lung 1.5 cm nodule. Surgery went very well. Pathology was clear for lymph nodes no spread. I am 63 and my Recovery was smooth. My biggest struggle was getting comfortable to sleep. I began walking as soon as I could. I did have numbness in the left abdominal and still have some. Not very noticeable. At 8 weeks I was quite active. Now At 12 weeks I have not noticed much reduction in my lung function.
