I had a right lower lobectomy and they found one cancerous lymph node. It was the one next to the tumor. They upped my stage to IIb due to the lymph node. I then had four months of chemo, once per month. I didn’t need a port. It wasn’t that bad. The few scans I’ve had since have been ok. I have a small nodule in my left upper lobe now that has grown slightly since 2024, but the pet scan was good. I’m getting scans every 3- 6 months.
