Hi Sarah
Glad you found this site. You will find the members here supportive and has a lot of experience with L/C issues. I also had my upper left lobe removed. I was staged 1B as well and was given similar information as you on the preventative chemo. My first Oncologist recommended it but the surgeon, pathologist, and internal organs specialist recommended to not have it. I did alot of research online on studies that were done. I asked members here who recommended the chemo. I asked for a second opinion from Oncologist at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. He sent it to his 5 colleagues for their opinion. 2 said not to have it, and 3 said to leave it up to the patient but if I decided to have chemo, they would include that studies did not support my decision. I had 4 rounds of chemo, Cisplatin/Vinerolbine, which I finished in April.
