Lung Cancer Stage T1b N0 M0 - should I have surgery or radiotherapy?

Hi , I  have lung cancer T1b in my upper right lobe. Should I opt for surgery or radiation ? I live on my own but have friends nearby. Recovery times? How would I manage on my own? Thank you

  • Hello Feefo and welcome to our online community.

    You can find out more about surgery for lung cancer and radiotherapy for lung cancer on our website but hopefully some of our members who have had either of these treatments will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

    You can also have a chat about this with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and support you whilst you figure out which treatment to go with.

    If you haven't done so already, do try and discuss your concerns with your medical team as well as they will be in the best position to give you the answers you seek.

    I hope this helps Feefo and you're able to decide on a course of treatment soon.

    Kind regards,
