@californiazebra thank you so much for your message ❤️ when I had my first surgery to remove it I asked what size it was my lung specialist said it was a chick pea sized tumor but over where its sitting in my bronchi it's in-between to lobes of my lung so more then likely 2 will have to be removed I got 40% removed on 5th of Sept I'm still waiting on more surgery lung doctor said he can't give me a time or date so anxiously waiting for this to happen 😢

That’s unfortunate that tiny tumor is impacting two lobes. I’ve read about partial lobe removal so I wonder if they can just take part of each lobe preserving as much healthy lung tissue as possible? I also read that in time the remaining lobes can expand into the vacant area.

The waiting and anticipation is always so hard. Praying for you.
