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 was just diagnosed last week with a lower lobe cancer Stage 1. Who has gone through this surgery?

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
