Hi Amy,

I was diagnosed December 15th 2021 and was in total shock. At the time, I was running 20 miles a week, playing tennis and was an avid yogi. I’m a 41 year old non-smoking mother of two young boys, have been active and eaten healthy my whole life. I had zero symptoms, my tumor was an incidental finding on a CT scan I had for a running injury. I had an upper right Lobectomy and completed 4 rounds of chemo about 6 weeks ago. I am running again, doing yoga (at home) and have begun to play tennis again. I will say it’s tough but I am giving myself grace and space to gain endurance back slowly.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to chat!

Hip hip hooray @ginabilleter

Good morning. I applaud your efforts on getting back your health! Moving forward, to me, is the only direction to move post-surgery.

Are there any "tips" that you can share that might help people waiting for surgery?

Thank you for posting!
