I've felt good all week had my first session on Tuesday. Woke up today feeling blah and constipated.. is that anything to be concerned about
Hi frazzled !!
glad you’ve had a good few days ! You’re probably feeling ‘off’ because you’re constipated. Nothing to worry about, if you’ve no mild laxatives in the house, try & get some prune juice (1-2) glasses. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids. Try to stay away from fizzy drinks & caffeine. Try to take at least 6-8 glasses of fluid through the day, I would stop drinking after 8-9pm or you’re likely to be up peeing during the night. Fruit & veg are good for you too
good luck !!
Good morning lovely people.
2nd CT scan on 17 April this tear (R upper lobectomy Dec. 2022) recent scan has shown my middle lobe is compressed. Having bronchial lavage on the 23rd May. Letter to GP from consultant described it as possible middle lobe syndrome, GP unsure what this is. Regular chest infections but one in December this year & a few weeks ago really floored me. Throat is quite raw & my voice is quite hoarse. Anyone able to suggest any ideas on what's going on with me ?
You’re doing great frazzled !! Don’t know what the weather is like where you are, here in Northern Ireland it’s a miserable wet day. I’ve just settled myself on the sofa to watch a film. Fires lit & I’m all cosy !!

Listen to your body, & be good to yourself. Have a wee nap whenever you need to, your treatment will be working still so you’re bound to get tired. But cannot believe how pleased I am you sound so much more settled. You’ve got this frazzled !!
