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??

I have had a double lobectomy. Two-thirds of my right lobe removed in 2014. Four years later it arrived into my left lung. Eighty-to Ninety percent of my left lung removed. They did not get a clear margin. 2020, spots on left lung and remaining right lung. I went for analysis at Mayo, after all the testing and radiation on my left lung. I now have scans every six months as spots continue to grow very minimal. I feel pretty fortunate to be walking around today and even play pickleball--should say go onto the court--my breathing is an issue as I don't have the capacity I used to have. I'm constantly out of breath, but again I feel pretty lucky.
