I don't know your situation but almost 6 yrs ago & now cancer free I had an upper left lobe removed by traditional surgery. I was at stage 1 so recommendations were no chemo only radiation. I thought long & hard whether I should undergo chemo but in the end I went with my Dr's recommendation & have not regretted my decision. I have no side effects & I can do anything I did prior to surgery/radiation. One side note, I am a lifelong non smoker so this is not just a smokers disease.
