I had the middle of my right lung removed in March, but still dont understand if there is even a stage or what to expect.

Hi @Dawn1970‍

Did you discuss the concern of "a stage" with your doctor? He would be the best to be able to discuss the stage of cancer or if the removal removed all cancer remnants.

In regard to what to expect? Do you mean you recovery and prognosis of after having a portion of the lung removed?

@Dawn1970 you should discuss the stage with your doctor. The staging depends on the tumor size, location and whether it has spread to your lymph nodes. The doctor then stages it 0-4. It is possible that it is a 0, but then I do not know if surgery would be needed?

I had stage II and had a partial lobectomy... what to expect kind of depends on the exact type of surgery. Do you know what surgery they did? Are you asking what to expect as for as in the long term for your lung?

You should expect to feel pain for a while and not up to normal for some time... however, as recovery continues you should begin to notice that you can breathe a little bit more easier, but you should continue to work to strengthen your lungs. Did your doctor send you to therapy?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
