Thanks for sharing. The four surgeries you mention, were they all VAT surgeries, what lobes were they on and were they all wedge or did they remove an entire lobe? I have had two VAT wedge resections (stage 1b RUL and stage 1a2 LUL). And I had SBRT on 2 nodules in RUL - all that in a two-year period.
The RUL still has multiple increasing nodules and GG and I wonder if they might go back in and just take out that lobe.

@vic83 Good Morning! My first cancer was in my upper right lobe and the whole lobe was removed with the “big” surgery. At that point, it was not known that I had multifocal lung cancer, and, that was the gold standard.
3 years later, I had a ggo begin to grow and the surgeries going forward were all VATS wedges.
I am not a doctor. It’s my understanding that with multifocal lung cancer, the objective is to preserve lung tissue, as this is an ongoing disease, and I would look to your team to manage your care. Best wishes and prayers for you this year.
