Hey Nine,
Been there, done that. I had an upper right lobectomy. I was staged 3A. Surgery was the best thing that I could hope for and I was happy to get it. I have no cancer now and am forever grateful to the people on this website, my health professionals and God. If you are staged 3A or less you most likely will have surgery and continue on with your life in what for me is a much more appreciative manner.
