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.

That’s my biggest fear is recurring nodules.. . Did have any chemotherapy?? You definitely have had lots of surgeries.. Sounds like you have not let it get you down, I’m sure you have your moments.. As you said we are very lucky, 30 yr ago would have been a different story ..
