I had a robotic lobectomy; upper left lobe at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I live in MN. Stage 1ac at the end of December 2022. Lymph nodes removed were negative for malignancy. Technically cancer free but will be watching it closely because I am still nervous. I was told at the Mayo Clinic that a lobectomy is the gold standard treatment for this stage. They also told me that my breathing capacity after surgery would be 80%. Recovery is a process and takes patience. Follow up CT in May.
