    A lot of people have stents these days. I have worked as a paramedic for 20 yrs. It is nerve racking to be waiting for a stent without cancer. I can only imagine your fears with it all added together. That's normal and I think you are doing good. Sounds like they are on top of things. I think you are right by taking one step at a time. After the stent then worry about the next step. You will stronger after recovery from stent. I have seen many pts feel so relieved after . I think you are stronger than you think. I hear some great advice being given too. Take our strength and prayers with our love and slowly walk through this. You got this you know.

    You are definitely not alone.  I think we should get t-shirts that say "LUNG CANCER: Been there, done that, got the t-shirt".

    Hi, Helen, and welcome.
    No, the results do not mean you're "cancer free."  The fact that cancer was found in your lymph nodes means it has spread, and that's also what the staging tells you.  The lobectomy removed the primary tumor, but not the cancer cells that have spread to your lymph nodes (and possibly other parts of your body).  So you will need to have some kind of drug-based therapy to kill those other cells.  
    Not everyone experiences the same side effects, nor with the same intensity.  Side effects can be managed--there are lots of folks here who can give you tips for ways to do that.
    I hope you will continue with treatment.  Cancer treatment is improving all the time, and you could have many, many years of life ahead of you if you opt for treatment.
