Upcoming surgery - Asking for prayers

[DeltaDawn23]

I haven't been on here in  a while.  I went to the ER with chest pain in mid April. No problem with my heart, but they found a spot on my lung.  After being scanned, scanned and scanned again, and a biopsy, they think neuroendocrine tumor -- good prognosis.  I will be going in for a lobectomy next week, Monday.  My afib will likely be an issue after the surgery, as about 25% of people end up with it after this surgery and go home on heart meds.  Since I have such a long history of it (11 years) it quite likely I will have it.  The doctor does not want to cardiovert right after surgery unless I am in danger.  Sounds like they may put me on Amioderone for a month or so, at which time I may then undergo a cardioversion.  I have done my homework as far as doctor, hospital, etc. So feeling as if I've done what I can and leave it up to the people who know what they are doing.  Still, if anyone has any input, or suggestions, I would be happy to hear it.

Sorry, Delta....I thought you were talking about going in for an ablation.  I hope everything went well with your surgery.

[LindaTX]

Delta, good for you!  I hope everything is going well!  I've gone 27 mo. without afib and it's wonderful.  I don't get on here too often but I'll be sure and check in and see how you are doing.  Again, so happy for you!

Keep in touch,
Linda

I was thinking about you yesterday.  I hope it went well and we are able to hear back from you soon that you are feeling better.  (((HUGS)))

[DeltaDawn23]

Again -- thank you so much for all the good wishes!  Hard to put into words how much it helps.

It sounds as though you and your docs have a grip on the situation, and that's just what everyone needs. I hope your surgery goes well and that you recover quickly and well.

Surgery is tomorrow a.m. (August 11) at 7:30 a.m.  

Thanks all of you for the pep talk, it truly helps.  It never hurts to know there are friends wishing you well as one approaches any sort of medical procedure.  

I will imagine your love and blessings following me into the operating room and surrounding me like a cloud.

Thank you all.

I am sorry to hear that.  I have had a couple of surgeries and they are scary and stressful but the good news is you will sleep right through it.  I wish you much love and success with the operation and a speedy bounce back.  As well gosh darn the afib should stay away.  Let us know when it is so I can send prayers your way that day.  (((HUGS)))

Hello,

I can only second what Jerry said. I wish you the best, and he Doctors and facilities are better than ever. my prayers and thoughts will be with you..
you'll be o.k.

[Jerry_NJ]

Sending my prayers and best wishes... I have no knowledge of the tumor problem you are diagnosed with.  I too believe put you trust in your doctors and supporting people and facilities - you will be okay, I believe it will all work out.  As for AFib, that I have some familiarity with and live with.  My heart rate is managed/controlled as is the case for many.  Hope you can get converted back to NSR.

God bless,
