I had an upper right lobectomy in 2017 for a 1cm adocarcinoma. I had the VACS procedure rather than open surgery. It was less invasive and I was discharged after 3 days.
Hi Susan thanx for your reply I have been told that my surgeon would attempt that approach but that I had to be prepared for open surgery if the key hole is not successful.
3 days in hosp is impressive 👍
I am still researching radiotherapy as a possibility but its looking like surgery has a better success rate at removing all the cancer cells.
Best wishes to you & thanx once again hope you are doing well?
I hope your appointment is soon it helps to have all the information I have no personal experience of this, but there are others who have. I hope they get in touch to share their knowledge. Take care
I had SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy) for my Non Small Cell Lung Cancer 2 years ago that was very successful, it is still shrinking today. Non invasive, no pain and very little in the way of side effects, just some inflammation which was dealt with by steroids. Info link:
