Irka Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Would be grateful to know how those of you who have had robotic-assisted lobectomies are doing. I am scheduled for robotic-assisted surgery on my right lung on May 22: Wedgectomy of likely cancerous nodule in mid-lobe, with biopsy, etc. Removal of large nodule in upper lobe & biopsy; second smaller nodule in upper lobe is in difficult location. If surgeon decides a lobectomy of middle lobe is required, will do that. If not, he will do a lobectomy of upper lobe as way of dealing with both the large & smaller nodule since the latter is in a hard place to get to. So bottom line: definite middle lobe wedgectomy; then either middle lobe or upper lobe lobectomy. He said wouldn't remove both lobes since that would put me on constant oxygen. Can't help being scared & truly am dreading the surgery & the aftermath. Irka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I responded to the message you sent me. Scared is normal. It is nothing near as bad as I’m sure you are envisioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
