Hi Kelly!
I had stage 3A and had the bottom half of my right lung removed four years ago. I am doing fine and my cat scans have been normal. The first weeks after surgery were the hardest. I remember getting out of bed was rough at first. After five months I took a trip to Ireland. Had a little trouble walking uphill but otherwise, I enjoyed it. A year after surgery, you will be in great shape. You will feel better and better month after month. Best of luck to you!
