See braking bad: Need to know pathology results: small cell cancer vs non-small cancer vs mets - all will cast different prognosis. See oncologist for stats.

Chances are good: A 1cm cancer resected with a lobectomy and lymph node sampling is a stage ia lung cancer (if nodes are negative for cancer) the chance for cure is 80 - 90%.
