I’m 73, never smoked, had the upper right lobe removed plus a section of the middle lobe 14 months ago. I was only in for two nights and it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as I had expected. Can I recommend you join the ‘lobectomy support’ group on Facebook. The people on there are incredibly helpful, you can ask them anything and I can guarantee someone will have been through the same thing! Take care of yourself, good luck.

Wishing you all the best for your surgery and recovery, Grannyjan.

I hope the very positive posts on here from people who've had lung surgery have given you some comfort.

Hi Grannyjan1953
I had one lobe of my lung removed due to cancer in 2020, two weeks before lockdown! I was 66 years old. Never smoked and am pretty fit and healthy leading an active life with a reasonable diet. I was up and managing a shower on my own within a few days, that was the nicest feeling. The drain being removed was the worst bit, but just take a deep breath and hold, they whip it out very quickly so it’s not really anything to think about. Yes I was sore but not overwhelming so much to my surprise. I was at home in 5 days and the recovery was good. Just do as they say and do not overstretch or over tax yourself, just because you’re feeling good. Take the time to recover properly. I didn’t have any treatment after and have been five years clear. Wishing you well, it’ll be fine.
