Hi 

I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer lower lobe had biopsy last week 

I’m upset that this was done by telephone rather than face to face 

the consultant said it would be best to do a lower lobe removal 

I also have a middle nodule that they want to biopsy as well so that will be done in a few weeks 

any advice on lower lobe removal or radiation therapy 

im really scared to have the surgery 

I work full time and have no idea what to do as I do not get sick pay so it would only be ssp 

any advice or help on what I can do or speak to 

it’s early days so waiting on treatment plans ect 

thanks

    Hello - I was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) and had my right lower lobe removed (lobectomy) three weeks ago. 

    I was fortunate to have the operation n an excellent London hospital which specialises in this type of surgery. 

    I would seriously recommend that you consider having surgery if it's offered as this gives you the best chance of a cure.

    If you want to message me privately, please do. I'm very happy to answer any questions you may have.

    I'm surprised at how well I've recovered - I had the operation on a Wednesday and took a minicab home on the Saturday. I was pretty fit prior to the operation, which I think has assisted my recovery. 

    Wishing you all the best x
