Hi @sullivan728,
I had chest pain too in the beginning of recovery, as Lisa said chest pain can’t be taken lightly so I reached out to my doctor and he said the same as yours, that it was all normal and a part of recovery from the trauma of the lobectomy. Yes, feels abnormal just like you said… Mine as well began to occur less frequently… then one day I realized hey haven’t had that chest pain in a while ! And that was it 😊 none since.
Hugs 🤗 Daisy

@monette
The OP was diagnosed stage 1a so had to be 9mm. 9cm would be no lower than stage 3. Metrics and autocorrect has a mind of it's own.

@edivebuddy I hope it was autocorrect, but didn't want to mention cancer to her.

Has anyone experienced tolerable or little pain? These reports are making me quite anxious about my upcoming surgery.

Hello @peeps69
I had a right middle lobe lobectomy done robotically. My pain was tolerable and very little. In the hospital they gave me pain meds, I was discharged after about 24 hours… once home I only used Tylenol as needed, and even that was not for long.
If I began to get uncomfortable I walked slowly around the house, that alleviated it amazingly! It’s my understanding that walking increases blood flow which that in turn helps with pain.
The only discomfort I have now is from the regeneration of nerves, which is tolerable as well. I do not take medication for that, I purchased more comfortable bras which helps a lot. It takes time for nerves to heal.
I knew I’d have pain, it’s surgery and all but I was quite happily surprised at how much less it actually was !
Positive thoughts your way that you experience this as well.
Hugs 🤗 Daisy
