scheduled for first week in June.
Decided on lobectomy based on dr recommendation, extensive research and on the hope that I will not need to take meds afterward

I had to make the same decision -- similar scenario. It was 9 mm in December and we decided to watch it. Just had another ultrasound done and it grew 2 mm over the past 3 months so getting left side removed May 2nd. I have a benign nodule on the right that was biopsied and hasn't changed in 6 years so we're hoping that side stays clear. After much research and consideration lobectomy felt right for me too.
