I can only imagine how traumatic this was, @delir. When doctors are so busy or if there are not enough doctors we are left in the dust. I am glad that you had the presence to educate yourself as much as you could in a short amount of time.

How did your VATS go? What kind of lung cancer did you have?

Right, very traumatic especially at 1st - less so as I learned more.
VATS outcome seemingly good. Had a Right Upper Lobectomy. The report says Stage 1B (don't fully understand the "B") and my surgeon says he's pretty sure they got it all with no evidence of spreading, "a typical Lung Cancer, adenocarcinoma".
Much later, I found on their portal the genomic studies done to guide treatment in case that's needed later. Pretty sophisticated.
Another followup in Oct.
Thanks for your comment.
