Thank you for all of your prayers, I had my surgery on 6/4/08 and came home this morning, 6/7/08. The surgeon had good margins and things went well, now I have to recuperate. Thanks and hugs to all. Audrey

    Awesome! Get some rest but from a lung resection vet, walk as much as you can... don't sneeze and don't laugh too much...yet...
    Congrats!

    Audrey,

    Wonderful news! As one that has also gone through a lung resection, take care of yourself. The worst is over (once they remove all those tubes).
