I was told that yes, I have cancer, but they had removed it along with half of the lobe of that lung. That was not the original plan, stating that if they found cancer they would remove it with the entire affected lobe.
The reason they only took half the lobe was that they had found my lungs to be SO badly affected by smoking, that removing the entire lobe would have left me without enough lung power!
I will be scanning these pix in high resolution so you can see properly what 30 years of smoking does to you......and this part is irreversible!
Thank you for posting these pictures. I've smoked on and off for nearly 30 years. These may well be my lungs too. But don't smoke anymore. And I won't again.
