Hi Merry, was relieved to see your post. I had a RUL lobectomy in Mar 2023 and recovered well. But was told post surgery, there were 3 nodules in the lobe remived and I have 3 other nodules in the left lung they are monitoring. I haven't met any one else that has multifocal diagnosis. It scared me as dr said chance of reoccurrence is higher. Thank you for sharing your strength! Best wishes on your treatment.

@balevine- Good morning. I'm sorry you have felt alone in this type of lung cancer. So did I. I thought that I was the only one! How pompous of me, eh? There are quite a few of us but we are not confined right now to just the group called, Multi-focal. We are scattered all over this site. "Things are a changin!

Hi Balevine. You are not alone. I have had two VAT surgeries in the last 20 months and am now looking at radiation on several others.

No, you are not alone, but it certainly can feel that way.
Five years in, have had surgery and radiation. Scans every 3-4 months. Stable is my favorite word. Think one of the hard things about this type of cancer is explaining it to others. Glad you found us!!
