I would just say get second opinion and/or consider a consultation with oncologist first. I know some have had radiation vs surgery for stage 1. Or they go into surgery with a default decision of wedge resection only if margins are clean. In my case, the surgeon stated emphatically that if nodule was malignant when they removed the wedge and sent it to pathology, he would remove the lobe it sat in. I didn't expect it to be malignant since he said it was only a 25% chance of that, so I didn't react to his statement. I deeply regret not seeking another opinion since I now believe I will never regain my lung capacity and will have some degree of chest constriction for eternity. I KNOW I have RA for life, so regret saddling myself with perhaps unnecessary restrictions.
