Has anyone here ever had lung surgery,

"lobectomy" to be precise, for a small, malignant nodule on their lung?...I'm a week into recovering from the procedure and would be interested in 'comparing notes', as it were.

I have metastatic endometrial cancer that spread to my lungs, but I'm told it's pervasive and inoperable, so I'm going through chemo a second time. It will spread again, so I'm just trying to extend my life a little longer if I can.

Hopefully, if your nodule was small, if they caught it early, and if they got it all, you have a good prognosis and lots of life ahead of you! Meanwhile, take care of yourself and let others take care of you, too. There are many good resources out there!
