Just as added info, even though I'm really looking for input to my above question.....Normal procedure is to remove one rib (which they did), when they remove the upper lobe of your right lung. But, when they did my surgery they found it had metasized to the middle lobe. Therefore, they also had to remove the middle lobe also. The physicians BROKE 3 of my other ribs when trying to spread my ribs in order to get to the middle lobe. . ANYTHING you have to share would be appreciated. My surgery was Dec 4, 2005, Chemo ended in August 2006, and I am still experiencing extreme fatique & pain. I am 51 years old. My cancer was adenocarcinoma stage 1. I am a single working mom of a 14 & 18 year old & need all the energy I can get. How long will this fatique & pain last... at least I'll know there may be light at the end my rainbow. Cordially, Sherrie OH!, If I seem to be complaining... I'm not! I realize if this had not been caught by accident, I would have been dead in 4 to 6 months.
