I had a lobectomy on Wednesday for lung cancer. It’s taking me a while to recover and they are sending me to Rehab today. It’s been a very worrying time for me and my family. It was Stage 1, caught early so that’s a plus.

@marylou sending prayers to you keep the faith that it was all caught

Hi @marylou705
Wednesday isn't that long ago. It does take time to recover from such a major surgery as a lobectomy. I'm glad that you will be going to rehab to help with the recovery process.

It would be nice for you to report your progress to the member's of the Lung Cancer group. I'm sure other members there would love to hear how you are doing and give you support along the way. Here's where you posted to the group:

Talk soon.

Colleen, I’m not sure how to get on the lung cancer group, not being a whizz kid with computers. I can’t actually figure out how to do this. Thanks.

No problem, Mary Lou. I can help. Here's how to find the lung cancer discussion you were taking part in.

Hello @marylou705

I'm so glad that you let us know about your surgery. I will be praying for your recovery.

Please post and let us know of your progress. I look forward to hearing from you again.

@hopeful33250 I once believed in prayer. I hope everyone is not like what I have known. I also pray to a God that loves.
I am far behind on everything. I know there is a God. God is NOT responsible for the negativity in this world world.
If I could I would obliterate the morning news.

Thank you. It was more of a hassle than I imagined. I am a retired Physio, so expect instant results! Not happening. But, I’m in a good rehab facility. I can be here for 20 days but am hoping for no more than a week. Have already walked and done some stairs. They keep pushing food on me and I’ve had enough! Maybe a good sign that I’m in a whining mode!

Thank you. Will do.

@marylou705

That is great that you are walking and taking some stairs It sounds like you have determination and moxie to say the least!
