I'm dealing with something of this nature. 4 years ago I had a lower left lobectomy. There are two nodules in that lung presently, one is spiculated. There are three more in my right lung. We've been checking, they haven't grown, fortunately. Scans are taking place later this month, so here we go again with the anticipation. I may be a candidate this time around for so-called minimally invasive robotic surgery. Although I've been cut several times, I'm thankful for it because I don't want to die on a bed thrashing around in pain.
