Before you have lung lobe removed, have you had an MRI to see if any spec of Cancer is in your brain? This is knowledge well worth having and you may be eligible for Tarceva pill which has had positive results.
The process of determining what the best course of treatment for you can be lengthy, but the more information your doctor's have, the better are the chances of successful treatment. This journey is different for each of us. Make sure you understand everything you are told and all the options open to you.
Hope this is helpful. Keep us posted. This is an excellent site for information and support.
