I was discharged yesterday from hospital following lobectomy to remove a fairly large tumor

I was in hospital two nights- they actually said they would discharge me after one night, but i opted to stay another

Decent amount of pain first day while chest tube was in- important to stay on top of meds!

Came home with a ton of meds but seriously doubt ill need them all
Hoping to wean myself down to just an nsaid in couple of days

Your husband being in shape will DEFINITELY help him recover faster!!

I was happy to get that tumor out of me! Normally i guess they say stage 4 is inoperable, but surgeon told me bc i am in shape they will be agressive. they said chemo first but just last friday they ( oncologist and surgeon) reversed course snd put me in surgery asap

Im guessing they will be agressive with your husband too

Best wishes- these first steps are fast and furious- and definitely a bit scary

My friends and i developed a slogan to keep positive during this unexpected chapter of life-
The Best is Yet to Come!!

You and your husband will get thru this too
