I'm sorry we haven't answered you before, but I know I'm having a little trouble understanding your post. You said your husband had an upper left lobe removed? And now they are giving you his diagnosis of NSCLC, right? These tumors were found in the lobe that was removed, is that correct?
What that means for your husband is possibly radiation and chemotherapy, unless the doctors felt they removed the entire cancer. In which case they'll probably have him get scans on a fixed schedule. Medical jargon looks scary, doesn't it
Talk to his doctor(s), they're really the ones who should be telling you what's next!
Take care, keep us posted,
