Hi all
I am looking for some assistance on the 26th November I had a Vats left lobe resection staged at A3 . It was also found in near by lymph nodes.I am having chemotherapy for this .My main issue is the pain I am still feeling from the operation some days it just floors me and seems to be worse since starting chemo is this possible?
And is it normal at this to be in so much discomfort
Hi Handle and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m sorry to read about the pain you're currently suffering with. Have you spoken to your CNS (cancer nurse specialist), sometimes referred to as a keyworker or Macmillan nurse?
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the lung cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
