I don't know the type of cancer yet. I had a bronchoscopy, but they were unable to get a tissue sample. I then I had a positive pet scan. I've seen my surgeon and am scheduled for late August ti to have a lower left lung lobectomy. I don't know the cancer type or stage at this point. I've been told from the pet scan that it's early on and the nodes didn't light up, which I believe is a good sign. Now I'm feeling scared. Everything I've read about a lobectomy indicates a lot of pain and long recovery. I would so love to hear from others that have had this surgery and learn about their experiences. Thanks so much....
