My husband is having Lung Surgery this Wed. Aug 27! After a long strungle to convince the doctors that my husband was a good candidate for surgery, I am very scared.
My husband was diagnosed with Stage III NSC Lung Cancer in April. He had three cycles of CHEMO but CT scan showed no shrinkage in the size of the tumor. (To me, it looked like the tumor got bigger!). The first doctors did not gave him much hope since the tumor was really big, invading his right lung.
After seeking for a second, and third opinion, he is having surgery.
What should I expect after surgery? The docs said he will have some CHEMO and Radiation after surgery. My husband is 42, so I think he is strong enough for the surgery but I am scared that the next round of CHEMO and Radiation will really make him sick.
Worried wife.
