I was diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer .. had a lobectomy upper right lobe. Lymph node are clear . Had surgery 2 1/2 wks ago .. waiting to see post op surgeon and oncologist.. the hardest thing for me was unable to understand what was happening to me.. No one to talk to that understood what I was feeling and going through. The waiting time for all test, biopsies and doctor appointments were like a life time to me.. Now the thought of it returning stays on your mind.. there is no support group out there for you to get help mentally.. I am positive most of the time .. need other to talk to that understand..

Hi. You are in a good place here - There are a lot of us here who understand what you have been and are still going through. I had a 1.5cm mucinous Adenocarcinoma removed 7 months ago in a left lower lobectomy. Margins and lymph nodes were all clear.
So you and I are very very lucky.
How was yours discovered? Mine was picked up 5 yrs ago in a routine screening. It was only 6mm then. By last April it was 14mm so they recommended removal. I will have CTs every six months for five years so I don’t really worry about it returning without me being aware.

What kind of cancer did yours turn out to be?
