Hi,
I just read your message. I had the upper right lobe of my lung removed in 2002. I am working and exercising and barely notice a difference. Sometimes I am short of breath, but almost no difference noticed. I even started riding bikes with my husband and son. I am 45 years old. I was diagnosed with asthma after the surgery. It does not seem to get in the way at all. I have also heard of someone living on 1/2 a lung. I think the guy who did the winston commercials had a half of a lung. Anyway, if they can take out the lung and get all the cancer, I think he will do just fine.
God Bless,
Cindy
