How soon should chemo start after having lobectomy?

Posted by julie67 @julie67, Aug 31, 2024

Almost 4 weeks post lobectomy and am not better. was scheduled for port in 4 days.
Saw pulmonologist yesterday and he agreed I am too weak for surgery and may never get better. Now what? I can't even drive for an hour to go see someplace nice to get out of here. lost and no idea what to do. surgeon lied to me abouot being 'back to norma' and i 'looked good' lmao just 3 days ago...

@julie67 Same here, lymph nodes clear on bronchoscope, then right lower lobectomy. 1/7 lymph nodes is positive, the one right next to the tumor. They removed it, but now I need chemo and immunotherapy.

@zape, I'm sure it wasn't easy to hear that one of the nodes was positive, but it's good to know that now. It sounds like you have a plan and are ready to move forward. When does your chemotherapy start?

@lls8000 I go to Roswell cancer institute tomorrow for a second opinion. The other place wanted to start early February. I want to see if the treatment recommendations are the same or different.
