onlyone Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Mom had her right upper lobe removed Monday. Lymph nodes were clear and tumor (5cm x 3cm x 2.5 cm) was not touching chest wall. Her chest tubes, epidural and catheter came out yesterday. The plan is to transfer her to sub-acute rehab. on Monday. I will be heading back home later today and probably be coming to visit on weekends. I assume once she is recovered from the surgery, we will meet with an oncologist or two.

carolhg Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 So glad to hear that you mother's surgery went well. Be sure to ask about adjuvant chemo when it is time to see the oncologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
