Hello. My mum has recently been diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer, she is having surgery in 2 weeks to remove part of her lung. I was away for her doctors appointments and she does not speak to me much about the treatment and aftercare, i think she is trying to protect me but i would really like a realistic answer on what to expect for her recovery, survival etc. i know this is difficult without more details of the type of cancer, all she said was they caught it early enough to remove it but she won't know if she needs further treatment (presumably chemo) until they test it.
My Grandad had a whle lung removed due to cancer but he passed away a year later which i think is why i am quite scared but i want to know the truth of the situation so i can prepare and help her as much as possible.
Thank you to anyone who reads/answers this, sending big love to everyone out there battling the devil that is cancer.
