Hi Pam, I also had a mucinous Adenocarcinoma in the LR lobe. It was removed 7 months ago. I had robotic surgery. It was tough for awhile after surgery felt like I had a bra on 3 sizes too small. Gabapentin and lidocaine patch helped a lot. You are the first person I’ve come across with a mucinous Adenocarcinoma.

Fascinating. I understand it’s a relatively rare type of adenocarcinoma. I’m still dealing with rib and diaphragm pain since my surgery. Sadly, Gabapentin and I didn’t get along

I am recovering from lobectomy upper right lobe. 6 weeks today. Mucinous Adenocarcinoma.. Robotic surgery, so far my recovery sounds similar to yours.. lots of numbness and nerve pain.
Definitely still feels like a tight bandage rapping around my mid-section. They said all lymph nodes were cancer free and removing the lobe got rid of the cancer. I have to have a cat scan in 4-6 months then to a pulmonologist to monitor me .. I feel very fortunate but still worried for future scan results.. you said your 7 months .. How are you feeling now .. have you had any therapy??
