Hello it's jmjl.I had top right lung cancer lobectomy operation 2 weeks ago . feeling quite good.bit tired and some tightness..had breast cancer 7 years ago.x
Hi jmjl. I had a Lobectomy around the middle of May this year and am now back at work (builder). It gets easier very quickly but you must be as active as comfortably possible. I found cycling was the best therapy for me and certainly helped with my breathing. Now on immunotherapy every 6 weeks for a year.
put your faith in exercise but beware of sneezing! Bloody hurts and catches you unaware
wishing you a speedy recovery
Nick
Hello
I had top right lung removed three years ago. As an older woman I went for short walks every day at least three times. As Ifelt better I went for longer walks. Listen to your body and if you feel tired, have a rest. Little and often was advised by my cancer nurse. It took me about three months to really feel better. I do have a permanent ache as some of the nerves were damaged but I just ignore it. As Nick says an improvement can be see and felt quite quickly.
Love xxx
