T1C lung cancer

Hi Skanky

Sorry you have reason to be on here. I had a similar experience and was diagnosed following xray that was taken during rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. Found 2.5cm adenocarcinoma upper right lobe and I had a lobectomy in January of this year, I was fortunate enough to not need chemo or radiotherapy and after my next scan in January 2025 if all is well, I will be going on to yearly check ups. Happy to answer any questions if you think it will help.  Good luck, hope all goes well for you x

Thank you for your good wishes x

How long were you in hospital? How long was recovery from operation?

I was in hospital for 2 days, sent home with chest drain, that was taken out in 2 weeks which I think is much longer than for most people, for some it is removed before discharge. I recovered quite well but I measured my recovery by how well I walked up hills. I am 10 months post op and I feel back to normal, I am back on the golf course, walking every day and I can get up the hills without stopping I just go a bit slower than I did x
