Good Morning! I am right there with you! I just had my segmentectomy LUL, for NSCLC (Adenocarcinoma)and a little wedge (Granuloma -benign), 3 weeks ago, today. I feel good, but this IS SCARY! Reading that after someone has gone through the same thing, they suddenly have stage IV somewhere else. I am only scheduled to have a CT every 6 months for the next 2 years. No chemo or radiation was “necessary” as my cancer was stage 1A. But I have read some of these other posts that say there cancer was stage 1 and it happened. Well, I know that God has me in HIS hands and whatever HIS will, will be done. I think the best things to do are remain Positive and treat myself a lot better and try to be healthier, by way of exercise (walking for now), food intake (Lots of fruit and veggies) and mindfulness/gratitude. If cancer does come back, hopefully this will all help me fight it again, like Mary- who has been living with cancer for 25 years! Everyone! KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT!

I too had Stage 1 Adenocarcinoma. I had a upper left lobectomy and no chemo. I had scans every 6 months and then yearly. That was 9 years ago. Enjoy and be grateful for every day as most others aren’t as fortunate to be diagnosed as Stage 1.
Bring a former smoker it is not surprising that I now have cancer in my upper right lobe. I keep reminding myself that everyday is a gift. Appointment with surgeon and EBUS at the end of the week. i refuse to let this take away from the joy and contentment I have in my life.
