Yes thats it. Some surgeons will say if Stas is present you need a completion lobectomy, while others including mine does not. My surgeon said if he thought I needed a completion lobectomy ( to go back in and take out the remainder of the lobe) he would do it. In some trials there seems to be a significant chance of recurrence wiyh a wedge rescetion verses a lobectomy when Stas is present. My Dr said the trials never talk about those who go on to be fine. So I will be followed as I guess we all are. Thanks!
