Lung resection at 70: Anyone want to share their recovery experience?

Welcome @spotteddog, it is great that you are doing so well, and that the nodule was identified early. Wishing you continued success in your recovery. Was your nodule identified through a lung screening program, or incidentally from some other ailment? How large was the nodule that led to the surgery?

@lls8000 thank you Lisa! The nodule was found incidentally when I went for a CAT scan for pain in my right side. ( which turned out to be a small hiatal hernia) I actually didn't qualify for lung screening. It was an 8mm nodule on the scan. The tumor that was removed was 3.1 cm. I have an upcoming appt with the oncologist but it appears that it may be egfr positive with exon 19 deletion. (I am definitely learning new things)
