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.
