Newly diagnosed with lung cancer

Hi I’ve had surgery nearly three weeks ago for lung cancer, I am in turkey, and finding it hard to breath I went to hospital thinking I needed an antibiotic, I was given a mri and told that I possibly had lung cancer, I made an appointment with consultant for pet scan and had my surgery on 22nd nov,, all of the top lobe was removed and part of the bottom lobe, the surgeon said all of the cancer was removed, I have an appointment to see surgeon tomorrow for results and to find out what type of cancer it was, it’s all happened so quick I’m in shock

  • Hi, I've just read this and really feel for you as you haven't had time to think. Its good that you have been treated so quickly. I know that it is a very painful thing to recover from. Very invasive and lots of nerve damage. I know this as my husband has recently had a lobectomy. There are different treatments for different types I suppose. My husband is not on chemo he is on something completely different as is mutation is quite rare. I hope your consultation went okay. I realise now that your post was two months ago. How are you?
