Bunnie, I understand your concern. I am 78 - otherwise healthy - and had Robotic Assisted Lung Surgery in March for adenocarcinoma. Had partial lobectomy and recuperated quite well. Talk to your docs. I was concerned about my age, too. It’s much more about your overall health. Hugs to you. Keep us posted.

And 78 is young! My first VAT surgery was at 80 and second one at 81. You are right. It is about one's overall health, how tissue heals etc.
