Thank you so much for your encouraging reply. I found out that it is definitely Stage 2B and I will be having my surgery June 2-VATS thoroscopy with a right lower lobectomy and I guess some type of chemo to follow. Nervous and scared but ready to face the music and get the show on the road so that we can get this taken care of. Will let you know how it goes.

Hi Everyone- My name is Christina. I am 56 years old with a Stage 2B non small cell pulmonary adenocarcinoma that was diagnosed via EBUS in mid April. Saw the surgeon today to talk about the Minimally invasive VATS procedure to remove the right lower lobe and the mediastinal lymph node but he wants to do a mediatinscopy to be sure that its not a stage 3A or Stage B since it was a hilar lymph node. If it is, than we need to do chemo first before the resection. I had colon cancer 3 years ago and beat that and now this. Its alot to deal with and scary. Reading all the stuff on the internet makes you crazy and depressed. Hoping to find some support from all of you here who have probably heard it all before. Thanks-
