Hi everyone, I have stage 2 lung cancer. I will be having surgery to remove the top part of my right lung and a section in the lower part of my lung. My surgery is set for 4th August (a few weeks time)

I am petrified of this surgery although I know it could save my life.  My big fear is coming round after surgery and the pain and the the days in hospital trying to cope with the pain and the ability to recover . 

I am doing my best to get myself as healthy as I possibly can before the surgery. I am 70 years old.

I am new to the community so I am not sure if anyone else has had a similar experience of this kind of surgery.

Warm regards to all
