Doctor Whang was amazing. He removed 1/5 of my lung. Stage 1 Cancer. His recommendation was to remove it ASAP before it could grow and attach elsewhere. Lymph nodes showed no sign so he believes it was removed before it spread, we will know next CT scan in 4 months. But I feel so confident that's it is gone. His robotic procedure was quick, and my ribs thank him. I highly recommend Dr. WHANG.
