Very: You will need to have a frank talk with your physician, as this very much affects what you need to know as you choose from among your treatment options. I'm sorry. This is bad news, but depending on the tumor type, it may be more or less serious.

Lung CA? Not good: I assume you are talking lung cancer, no? It is usually bad news to have lung cancer to begin with, and having a positive node makes things worse. Still, if you had surgery, I assume there was no definite evidence of spread so you have a fighting chance. It is possible your doctor will offer you post operative chemo. Have a good talk with him/her. Good luck and God bless.
