Oh wow, dealing with two separate primary cancers is rough. I hope recovery from colorectal cancer surgery continues to go well.

Here are a few discussions related to lobectomy that may interest you:

Do you know if you will have robotic surgery? When will you start chemo?

I am meeting with the oncologist next week to discuss chemo.

I feel great from my colon surgery.. surgery one day.. out the next!

I met with the thoracic surgeon. He will need to remove my lower right lobe with the 2 carcinoids.

That surgery scares me the most.

I will have chemo first.

I am 71 years old and in good health besides my cancer issues.
