Has anyone gotten a second opinion before lung cancer surgery?
Has anyone gotten a second opinion for lung cancer surgery!
I was somewhat scared to because it is with the same group of doctors. I’m sure I will be told the same thing, but it was the it was presented to me that made me nervous.. I actually have three choices.
But the doctor said he was going to do a lobectomy and left out the other 2 choices until I pulled it out of him.
It just made me feel uncomfortable..

I have been diag osed with early stage suspicious nodule in lower right lung. Surgeon wants to do a wedge with possible removal of whole lobe. Cannot have biopsy due to emphazima and have said no to lobe temoval. Now surgeon may not do just wedge. Not illing yo live on oxygen for life so may go with radiation. Has amyone had good results from radiation as opposed to surgery. Surgeon calling me tomorrow and i am worrued sick about this.
