Hi everyone. My name is Leona. I was diagnosed on 9th July with lung cancer and had a lobectomy of my lower left lung on 30th July. I was due to see the surgeon for a follow up appt at start of September but due to unforeseen circumstances at the hospital it was cancelled til 13th October. I'm sort of thinking now that because it's now over 11 weeks since my surgery that means I don't need further treatment. Has anyone here waited that long to be seen following surgery and did you you still need treatment. The waiting for the results of test on my lymph nodes has been the most difficult thing for me so far. Just needed to vent
