My sister has been diagnosed with 2b NSCLC, R upper Lob, adenocarcinoma. Lymph nodes in center of chest suspicious. Very confused and want to ask the best questions. Thank you for your help!
Ask what surgery is to be done-will she have a chest tube , how long in the hospital and will all cancer be removed. What will the recovery period be like.
I was diagnosed with stage2 adenocarcinoma of upper right lobe in August. Immediately I was sent to a thoracic surgeon who did a CT scan sent me to a pulmonary doctor for testing and biopsies. Then I was sent to oncologist who started immune chemo treatments right away. All doctors agreed on my treatment of 3 infusions 3 weeks apart. Then a CT scan to see if the tumor has shrunk and then laser surgery to remove the mass and the 3 suspicious nodules that were also found in lung. I have had 2 treatments. One more to go. Prayers are with you.
I have a meeting with my surgeon today to discuss my lobectomy. What sort of questions should I ask?
