Recent Diagnosis and Lobectomy

Hi Avidknitter

lovely to hear that your the other side.
Don’t worry about anything just concentrate on your recovery

I didn’t have any info in hospital in fact I didn’t see a doctor until the day I left. I thought there was something wrong but later I found it was all fine. They just left me alone in critical care as he didn’t like the margins so went back in. I wish they’d told me that in hospital. 

Sending you a hug, hope you have a speedy recovery. 

Best wishes 

Hi I had same  operation in june  im ok now  get  bit  breathless but  other than  that  ive  been ok  hope you  recover well  good  luck. 

Thanks- that’s good to hear. I was only in hospital 3 nights so I’m 8 days post surgery now.  The first full day home I was like a greyhound out of the race traps, but paid for it the following day. Doing the breathing exercises religiously and I’ll start moving about more in the next couple of days. is there anything you wish you’d done differently, or I should watch out for.  
Glad you’re recovering well

All the best

Hi I just  took it  easy  for  1st  2 weeks and after that I was fine  have  had  couple of  chest  infections though  but  the  cough is  getting much  easier I couldn't hold a  conversation without  badly  coughing  I do forget sometimes and reach up  wich  still realhurts  if I stretch my  right  arm and  the  breathing  exercises really do  help  hope  you have  speedy recovery but  remember it  was a big  operation you went  through  good luck  ..

One thing that I did not realise could happen.
My cough was attached to hayfever

Im six months on now and managing my allergies which were okay before my operation.

Strange but true. I found out because I flew to Spain and no cough, my breathing was great and I could swim!

Flew back and so did the cough .
