Experiences with

Lobectomy

having lobectomy any day now. Tumour Stage 1, 2cm. Found on scan after bad fall. Nervous to say the least, anyone here had lobectomy? Am in NZ, care since finding tumour 8 January has been amazing. To say I’m glad I fell is an understatement! PETscan shows this tumour is only intruder 🙏🏻

hi my husband is two weeks post surgery (upper right lobectomy) and has intermittent hoarse voice. I am presuming this is nothing to be concerned about but does anyone have any suggestions to ease or improve the hoarseness?Thanks

Has anyone had a PET scan (5 years s/p RL lobectomy, R UL wedge for stage 1 adenocarcinoma) light up near suture site upper lobe (SUV 2.0) and it NOT be a recurrence? Going to see MD to discuss results today :(. Sadly preparing for bad news

I saw my Surgeon two days ago and was given to options. (1) Lobectomy (2) Radiotherapy. I do have some thoughts of my own, but I would appreciate any advice before I make my decision.

hi 👋🏽 What does mean please? appear polytypic. AE1/AE3 is negative. The lymph node shows prominent sinus histiocytosis. Features are consistent with a reactive hilar lymph node. In summary, there is a prominent non-specific bronchial inflammatory infiltrate with no obvious evidence of lymphoid

my partners only 8 weeks post op after lobectomy and 4 ribs removed.. 3A NSCC due to start chemo soon and has taken unwell. He’s now in hospital had a ct scan to show another lump to middle lobe.. same thing it looks like an abscess but that’s how the first presented.

my husband just had lobectomy (upper right) for stage 1 lung cancer and is 2 days post-op. They have been unable to remove the drain so far as still a small leak.

FINDINGS: Lungs and pleura: Status post right lower lobectomy. Postsurgical changes in the right upper lobe with predominant stable thickening and nodularity along the suture line.

Hello all History - partial lobectomy 2001 - no meds needed Remaining thyroid removed Sept 2021 - thyroxine 150mcg reduced to 125 and again to 100mcg June 2022. History of low ferritin- heavy bleeding every month due to a polyp that needs removing.

Hi, I had a lower right lobectomy last January and despite recovering well - back in work 4 months after the opI am beginning to struggle. Every time I get an infection or cold my body seems to refuse to fight it like it used to, I’ve even had Bell’s palsy. My immune system feels like it is shot!

I haven't been here for quite a while but I wanted to ask for a bit of advice from those who had Adenocarcinoma of the lung and have had a Lobectomy.

I also have Bronchiectasis and had a lower left lobectomy in Oct. 2019. My excuse for not posting more is that I am a mom of 3, I have a job, my clinical rotation, and school! Someday I hope to post everyday.

I had a lobectomy last March, 20mm metastases after bowel cancer. Got follow up ct scans May 22 and August 22, told they were completely clear. Had ct scan Feb 23, told chest lymph nodes enlarged. Asked for copy of ct report and the lymph node issue was noted in the previous ct scan.

However they are going back to the two hospitals, one who did lobectomy and one who did a wedge resection to get the tissue which is kept there. I have been told that all my tumours are primaries and not related.

Hi all, so my partners three weeks after his lobectomy and recovering well  As his tumor was breaking into his ribs he had to get four ribs removed also, it was squamous carcinoma nsc.

Hi, had a partial lung lobectomy and lymph node removal, was told biopsy results would be back in 7-10 days. It’s now been 41 days and I’ve heard nothing.

I had to go to the Dr. today for a few reasons but I have been having similar symptoms to the one's I had before my Lobectomy and I am now waiting for an Xray. I am also due to see my cancer Specialist Nurse in January for my 4 year scan. How often does cancer return after a Lobectomy?

I had upper left lobectomy November 21 which went well and no further treatment required so feel very lucky. The cancer was discovered by chance following an X-ray for something else. Since November 22 I have suffered continuously with chest infections, one after another.

Narrative EXAMINATION: PET CT SKULL BASE TO MID THIGH CLINICAL INFORMATION: History of right lower lobectomy and right upper lobe wedge resection with pathology showing invasive adenocarcinoma. Monitoring of malignancy following completion of therapy.

I'd a lower left lung lobectomy last November and recently had my follow up appointment which will be annually from now on. I was told by the registrar not the consultant that I'd fluid on my lung. I wasn't told anything more than that & what this entails.
