    Hello I'm a 55 year old active person until  I had a right lower lobectomy with  several chest nodes biopsy's . I'm still having burning , stabbling pain in my incision area on my back and burning pain under my right arm pit and into my right breast and under my right breast chest area x 1 month ago.

    I also have a lot of swelling in the right arm pit area into my right breast and under my right breast in the chest area, I was wondering if this is normal.  I have been diagnosed with stage 1 adenocarcinoma and was told , I was not going to need chemo or radiation . I would appreciate any help with my symptoms thank you.

      I hope you are better. I was just told today this is more than likely in my near future. I am 50 active and independent and want to stay that way. Let me know how it's going now.

      Thanks

      I have had a lower right lobe lobectomy with the vats procedure for stage 1a NOMO lung cancer.  I was in the hospital 3 days and back to work in a month.

      I had the surgery on 9-23-10 and so far so good.

      I am so happy to hear that.

      I am so happy to hear that.  I am so nervous.  Did you have a lot of pain?  How was your recovery at home?   I really appreciate hearing from you.

      Are you having vats?  I had controllable pain for 6 months, I only took pain meds the 1st week home.  I would try to walk around the house and eventually for walks in the neighborhood.  I also did breathing exercises.  I was 51 when I had my surgery.  Ask me anything you want, as I know its scary to go through.  The best part is finding it so early at the curable stage.  Lori
