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!

I'm doing pretty well, I guess. My nodule was small (2.8 cm) and they found no metastasis,
but how are you? I've read some of your posts here, but wasn't sure where you were in your journey..You say you're undergoing chemo for a second time, but that 'it will spread again'..Is this a certainty? I hope not, Sparkly, but if so, I hope you're surrounded by as much life and love as you radiate to others..Just the way you've reached out to me here shows your beautiful heart.
