Yes. I was diagnosed with tumours on my lung 7 years ago. They were watching them for years . Last year one started to grow and they suggested a lobectomy on my right lung . Had it done last August . I had it done with pin holes in my back as opposed to being sliced down the front ( robotics ). Recovery was quicker and I was out and about in a week . The initial surgery is uncomfortable as is the first few days . The chest pain from the chest tube lasted awhile , but the surgery is definitely worth it. Good luck
