@rcerwin3 , I'm assuming that you are home now, and hopefully the dreaded tube is out. Are you still feeling ok? What stage/type is your cancer?

@lls8000 Mine was a 2.3 cm. adenocarcinoma in the right lower lung. All nodes negative (29 of them) and wide margins. My surgeon said at my follow up with him last Wednesday that CT scans every 6 months. That is not ok with me. My tumor itself (and I know it is out but what did it do and sneak out before it was out) was LVI+ and had 15% micropapillary. (Anyone heard of these things? All I know if they aren't positive.) So I am meeting with an oncologist tomorrow and hopefully along with my EXTREME anxiety he will put me on a shorter time period between CT's. My surgeon just brushed it off. I will not.
