How long does it take for a person who had lung cancer to recover from having 1/2 of their lung removed?

Question by Haznad1: How long does it take for a person who had lung cancer to recover from having 1/2 of their lung removed?
My friend had the top and part of the middle right lung removed on Jan 31, they are home from the hospital but still taking pain medication every 4 hours and still has shortness or breath. Can the cancer come back?
