I am doing much better and the intense pain has subsided. My tumor was 3 centimeters, stage 1 mucinous adenocarcinoma in left lung. No lymph node involvement. My onocolgist said no chemo or radiation so I feel very fortunate. I will have ct scan in 3 months because chest xray at surgery appointment follow up showed spot on right lung. Thanks for all the information it sure helps guide me in this journey. Julie

Thanks Lou and Scruboak tomorrow I meet with surgeon to find out stage and if any lymph node involvement. Thanks for the list of questions. I believe biomakers were ordered. It's very positive to hear someone else has this type of tumor because the doctors made it seem so rare and I'm happy scruboak you have had 3 years of NED. My recovery has been hard the first 6 days were great not much pain and I thought I was one of the lucky ones. On day 7 could not move left arm chest and rib cage were having spasms and sharp shooting pains. Can't lay down in bed because I can't get up without pain. I'm hoping this is not going to last much longer. So glad I found this forum. Julie

I am new to this forum and just had surgery at Northwestern hospital in Chicago. Dr Ankin Bharit for a mucinous adnocarcinoma in upper left lobe. Would like to hear what I should be asking and anyone who had had this type as some say it is rare. Thanks
