Well here I am again. I arrived at Bradford Royal yesterday at 8am for a ct guided lung biopsy. Oh the joys, it went wrong and I ended up with a puncture /collapsed lung and qn infection. I've got a drain in, feel like poo. This whole saga is never ending. I am actually considering refusing treatment now. What a performance xxx

  • Hel...that's awful. I gather it's well known complication but I guess that won't make you feel any better. Did they manage to get tissue for a biopsy anyway? 

    It does sound never ending but stick with it...you've done so well so far. Just a little longer and you'll be in treatment and on the way to recovery. Just hold onto that. Hugs

  • Good evening Jen, hang on in there sometimes we take backwards steps before forwarding ones, i don't know anything about the lung area but i know things will get better once the treatment begins. Wishing you well, take care.

  • Hi all thanks for the kind comments. Unfortunately I have caught COVID in here. My drain isn't working properly and they are still trying to decide what to do next. As you can imagine, I'm not over joyful this morning. Jen x. 

  • My goodness Jen you are really having a terrible time. How awful for you and your family. So sorry to hear about it all. These things make me realise how lightly touched I have been and how fortunate I am. God bless and best wishes.

  • Hi Jen oh no it doesn’t rain but it pours. Hopefully you are triple jabbed and it’s a mild illness. Please don’t get despondent.

  • Good grief Jen. 
    I’ve had it and just felt rubbish for a couple of days. Hope you have the same. 
    Have you had the lung biopsy results yet?
