Lung cancer

I have just been told that a lump growing in my lung is a slow growing cancer and I am seeing a surgeon next week. I understand that the lump is 7cm but hasnt spread out at the moment. Is 7cm small or big and has anyone had a lung lobe removed who can tell me how they dealt with surgery

    I've just been diagnosed with lung cancer and very much in a similar position to yourself. I've had a bronchoscopy and pet scan and tomorrow having a lung function test. It's in my right lung and part of the lung has collapsed they have suggested the way forward is to remove the lung but at the moment im in limbo as I haven't got another appointment with my specialist yet. I hope someone in here can give you more information and good luck xxx
