Just got home from seeing my surgeon, looks like surgery on Monday. He will remove a wedge, and depending on biopsy, he may have to remove the upper right lobe.
I have to admit, I am a bit apprehensive, and very nervous, but I know that I want this cancer gone.
Katherine,
Certainly understand feeling nervous. Not to belittle your concerns, the surgery is common and the removal of one lobe is not going to become a big barrier to living your life. I try and remember that knowing there is a problem and then taking an affirmative action like you are is the next step forward to putting this thing cancer into remission.
Do well, we are with you.
Joel
Thank you Joel. I know it is a common surgery, I've been through this before. This will be the second lobe I've lost to cancer. I also have some damaged lung tissue from emphysema.
I just keep telling myself that I beat cancer once, I will do it again.
