Lung nodule - due to have surgery for adenocarcinoma in my right lung. Has anyone had this? Feeling very anxious

I’ve been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in my right lung, I would be schedule for surgery and I’m very anxious just not knowing what the outcome will be, Has anyone had a similar diagnosis and how are you doing post operative? Thank you.

  • Hi Intan I had lung cancer in my top right lobe. I was terrified at the thought of surgery. Had it done in June. The fear is worse than the surgery. I had vats. The drain was the uncomfortable. It was a lot better when they took it out. Went home the next day. They are good at controlling the pain, and send you home with meds. I slept in a recliner to start with. It was painful getting out of bed. Pillows might help you. The first two weeks are the worst. Walk around as soon as you can. Then build up the walking daily. It really helps with recovery. I was a bit breathless walking uphill to start with. I was back doing my charity work after four weeks. Hope this helps. Wishing you all the best.
