Results: Stable
I would like feedback on the results of my sister CAT scan, after having about 5-6 chemo, doctor says it's STABLE. She will be off chemo for 1 month, and will be checked.

lung cancer surgery recovery
My father had his upper left lobe removed 2-1/2 months ago. He is 75. His surgeon explained it can take up to six months to feel better but, instead, he seems to be getting more fatigued, with less of a desire to eat.
