9 lymph node they take out with my lobectomie

You are most welcome. After having cancer fear of recurrences or metastases is very normal. After all, cancers can and do kill. It is almost like a shooting match on who wins. Things have to line up perfectly. This is all new for you so your fear is probably at its highest for the time being. It also seems to be the time when people re-evaluate their lives, think deeply about their own mortality, and make changes. Since you are still recovering physically, how are you other than fearful?

It’s very scary. I had a 5cm tumor left upper lung and I also had two positive lymph nodes. I would imagine you’ll just have chemotherapy because I think that they only radiate tumors. You are blessed because it was found so early.

In 2021 I was sick and my doctor thought I had pneumonia because the radiologist read my tumor as that. Three X-rays later two months later began coughing up blood. I knew I was in trouble. I finally went to ER to get checked.
When they learned I had smoked for over 30 years they CT’d it found the “pneumonia’ was actually a tumor. No operation because it was so close to my pulmonary artery. Surgery for small cell is rare which is why I asked if yours was. Stay off google. Many prayers 🙏
