Thank you all for sharing your experience . I did have a VATS and my incision is quite small . My surgeon talked a lot about post op nerve pain before my surgery but I haven't experienced that . I am very grateful . Take care and I will post pictures. Suepm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lbelle , I know this is such a shock . And you and your family are in my prayers. Did the oncologist have a treatment plan ? Suepm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Lbelle , I had asked my Surgeon if we could wait 3weeks for my surgery . I had been sick for several months and I was trying to clear up my lungs . He didn't have any problem with waiting . I will be interested in hearing about your second opinion . And praying for peace comfort and wisdom . Suepm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lbelle , Sorry you are going through this . This journey can be very frightening .My experience with the VATS robotic surgery was good . I have scarred lungs from a lifetime of asthma and pneumonitis. Even with my history of lung disease I woke up breathing on my own . I spent 2 nights in ICU , one night because they couldn't find me a bed in the step down unit until the next day . I was in the hospital about 8 days . A little longer then some . My chest tube was putting out a lot of fluid . I am a nurse , but believe me that goes out the window when you're the patient and the diagnosis is cancer . Anyway I did get IV Tylenol the first few days and it really helps with pain . Problem is it is expensive . The brand name is Ofirmev . I just wanted you to know my experience was good . I just had my 6 month visit with the oncologist and my CT and tumor markers are good . I had adencarcinoma Stage 1a and they did a right upper lobectomy . I hope that helps . This site has been such a help to me I hope it is to you as well . Suepm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm not new to the group , but I have a question . I am 5months out upper right lobectomy for stage 1a adenocarcinoma . Not feeling well this week felt like a virus . Fever , shortness of breath . Productive cough nothing colored . However today I started coughing up blood . Has this happened to anyone else ? Thanks Suepm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you so much Tom . I am so glad I have this group turn to . No one to talk to , who has gone through lung cancer , is isolating. Thank you for this group it has been very helpful . Suepm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
