Hi,
I had surgery removing the middle lobe of my right lung on 11/18, so almost
7 weeks ago... I still have some pain, mostly muscle spasms which I believe
were caused by the position that my arm was put in when they turned me on my
side to do the surgery, but who knows? I use Advil (three at a time) every
6 hours and I'm able to do most things in a normal fashion now, driving,
laundry, etc.
I defer to the others who've answered, especially Claire Lee, when it comes
to the issue of prognosis...though generally clean lymph nodes are wonderful
news...
Good luck in any case....
