I had surgery last Tuesday which was booked two hours and turned into four hours three hours lung collapse

When I awoke I was in HDU joined everywhere to monitors and drains   I spent five days there and two days on a ward. 

I feel like I cannot breathe. Wheezing and tight though I’m not sure it’s the chest. 

Any suggestions on breathing exercises or using a nebulisers would be really great. I’ve contacted my nurses and they’ve not called back yet 

Feeling anxious with this noises coming out of me  

Discharge Summary 

7/3 right vats lower lobectomy & wedge resection of upper lobe 

  • Thanks Julie 

    Its hard to get my head around that I’m relieved to have a primary cancer. Life certainly throws us some curve balls. 
    Im relieved it’s not from my bowel as I would jump to stage 4.

    I will be monitored by my bowel team and lung cancer team. Our amazing NHS 

    Roll on to some spring warmth and sunshine that’s definitely what I need
