It's great to hear your cancer was caught early and that surgery went well! Stage 1 lung cancer often causes very few — or even no — noticeable symptoms, which is why it's frequently discovered through routine screenings or scans done for other reasons.

When symptoms do appear at stage 1, they can include:

- A persistent cough, or one that produces blood or mucus
- Mild chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Repeated lung infections
- Wheezing
- Unexpected weight loss Since your cancer was removed early, your prognosis is generally considered good. That said, it's still important to keep up with follow-up appointments so your care team can monitor your recovery and watch for any changes.

If any of these symptoms appear or worsen after surgery, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor right away.
