My mother has stage I NSCLC squamous type. They approved her for a right upper lobectomy, but her cardiothoracic surgeon walked back on his words as we were literally scheduling the surgery today and wants the pulmonologist to make the final decision. Her FEV is 47% which he says is borderline. We have our appointment with pulmonology on Monday.

I just wanted to know what everyone else’s experiences were in regards to PFTs.

We lost my dad 5/3/25 to NSCLC squamous type, and this is honestly like reliving a nightmare for our entire family.
