Update
Surgery went well. Dr had to take upper and middle lobe of right lung and wedge bottom tumor. Feeling pretty good. Only prob was drain was,taken out too early and lung hadn't sealed yet so,had large collapse. Bugger! Had new drain reinserted along with suction three days ago. will have X-ray tomorrow to check status? Praying lung has expanded fully into,space and that has sealed. Frustrated but so grateful to God

Since your mets were so far out from dx, Chinese studies have shown great success with CURES and no other mets. Wishing that for you (and me with that one liver met 2 years ago).

Surgery
I'm glad your surgery is done, I hope your lung fills back up quickly and all else goes well and you get out of there soonest! I haven't had any lung surgeries, so no sage advice to add, just cheers to your surgery being successful and to NO MORE mets EVER again for you!!
