Now that they can do it laparoscopic you don’t have the big incision or cut ribs like they used to. So they send you home.

I learned something new. Each lung is divided into lobes—the left lung has two and the right lung has three—which are similar to balloons filled with sponge-like tissue.

His cancer was in his right lung bottom (third lobe) They go in through a very small incision snip, snip, snip, put it in a bag and bring it back out though the small incision. I still don’t see how they can do that.
