Anyone had a cancerous lung nodule removed and having clean scans?
Hi everyone. I had lung surgery to remove a stage 1A1 adenocarcinoma on August 9th. Clean margins (but close) and no lymphnode involvement. I am so petrified of my upcoming scan that more are going to appear or something bad is going to happen. I just need to hear from someone who has had this surgery and is doing well some years later to calm me down. This has been such a traumatic experience. They called the nodule low suspicion as it was ground glass and 9 mm. The blood test showed it could be 68% cancer so they biopsied it and it came back bad. Please someone help..I even had a PET scan that was negative. My doctor said I am cured but that there's always a possibility that another nodule could pop up due to previous smoke exposure. I was a very light smoker for a while and have since put the awful things down for good. He said my lungs were as pink as a newborns which is good.

@victoriaa I’m so glad. I’m so anxious and honestly irrational right now. I keep thinking they are going to find more and more. Prayers appreciated for peace and clean scans!
