Welcome, Mary Ann. I’m sorry you are dealing with this, whether writing for yourself or someone else. I was diagnosed with stage IA2 invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma in May, 2020. It took longer to get it diagnosed because of COVID and the ban on “elective” surgeries. I had a VATS lobectomy on the lower left lung and two weeks later had a repeat VATS to remove part of the upper left lung due to a hemothorax. No treatment other than surgery. My last CT scan showed some scarring and atelectasis (partial lung collapse) in the left lung which I’ve been told is normal post lobectomy. I also have a small nodule (4 mm) that has not grown over the past year. I’ve moved to annual scans! I live at 9000 feet and, after the initial recovery from the surgeries, can breathe just fine. Hiking higher than 10,000 feet is a challenge that I haven’t yet tried. But hell, that was hard even before I was diagnosed. Mentally, I still have niggling concerns about recurrence. I saw an oncological therapist for three months who was very helpful.
