Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

Hello everyone. Figured I would do this before I asked any questions. My name is Celeste. I was diagnosed with NSC lung cancer in January and had a lobectomy on February 23rd. My breathing troubles started at the end of August after having had Covid but I got my first glimpse of this at the end of September when my doctor (God bless her) ordered a chest x-ray for me and kicked off this whole thing. I'm 45 and a single mom if 3 but only 1 is still a minor. It's been a whirlwind for me but I am glad to be here.

@onethinkitt I had a lobectomy on my upper left lung on February 24. It was confirmed as first stage , they checked 30 lymph nodes and all came back negative. good to hear your story.
@onethinkitty, welcome Celeste, thankfully you had that chest xray! I always tell people that if they are offered one, take it! Mine was first seen on xray in an urgent care office. How’s your recovery going? Did you happen to have any biomarker testing done on the removed tumor?

@onethinkitty Sorry to hear of your lung cancer, which I have too. Good your doctor caught it! I have found this Mayo support to be helpful and informative. Hugs.
