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
Hi Jen. As Dani says hold on to the thought treatment won’t ge too far away. Don’t refuse it pkease. You’ve a new hubby by your side.
hugs Hooe you’re home soon

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 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.
