Lung Cancer - Lobectomy
By an unusual chain of events I found out I had Stage 2 Lung Cancer. I had no symptoms at all, no shortness of breath, no coughing, no coughing up blood. However, I was a smoker.
I needed a medical certificate for work as I was taking Friday off, GP wanted to do EGC on me, but unknown to him, the printer was faulty and gave a grave reading, I was then sent to local hospital for second opinion and given a chest xray, and it was then they found a mass on the lung, and a mass in each breast.
On the 30 March 2019 my life was turned upside down, I was one of the lucky ones, after PET Scans and Biopsies, it had not spread to other parts of my body, and it was operable and I underwent a Lobectomy on 7th June. My breasts turned out to be non cancerous and just dense.
I have been home from hospital a few days, and just wondering if anyone else has had this operation, and wish to share the ups and downs of their journey.

Re: Lung Cancer - Lobectomy
Hi Frankie,
I've been fortunate enough to not to have to do this.
But I would like to offer my congratulations on passing the tests clear!
Well done.
