I had Stage 1b EGFR non small cell adenocarcinoma. Had segmentectomy - Robot Assisted Thoracic Surgery. Recovery was not bad at all. (I was 78.) Overnight in hospital. Removal of chest tube was easy. If surgery can remove all the cancer, you’ll be done. Pathology report post surgery showed some cell migration to my pleura so doc reco’d 4 rounds f chemo followed by 3 years of Tagrisso (1 pill a day). Best of luck to you. So many cancers are now treatable and I know several people who are thriving after 15 years. Have hope.

I had my lower right lobe removed on Nov. 21
I am 72 years old. The first night they kept me pretty drugged up.
I was released on the 23rd.
Tube removal not bad at all.
It will be 1 week tomorrow!
Mine should be cured by surgery alone, pathology report not back yet!
