Hello Bridget i read you had a right lower lobectomy. I’m scheduled to have that also. I have stage 1 non small cell with benign lymph node biopsies.

my dr wants to remove all my chest lymphnodes in case they are malignant (even though initial biopsies were benign). I’m not sure I agree with this. I’m very afraid of getting lymphedema.

did your surgeon remove all your intrathoracic lymph nodes?
Do you know of others that had this done and if so did the get lymphedema?

thank you and I hope you are well.

  Hi Bridget thank you so much for replying to my question. Your story has helped me so much I really appreciate you sharing it.
  
  I’ve been researching and asking around and it seems that by removing the lymph nodes in the chest does not cause lymphedema whatsoever. I’m relieved.
  
  I wish you continued health and happiness💕💐
