Hello everybody,I made it through my second diaphragm hernia. This time open thoracotomy. Ivor Lewis and now that. I have stero pain, right and left. I am pretty much spend. Now I am experimenting low blood pressure. Fell down a few time, passing out, balance issues...got looked at by two doctors as a "wow" you're still here. How comforting. I was told in the beginning, I may have problems with my heart, due to radiation. Can anybody relate?
A response would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry, hope you find some answers, but I feel that's a few procedures that have changed your physiology, I had the Ivor Lewis them ,radio therapy then a left lobectomy,so although I can't relate to your situation, I can say it's area of cartiledge, muscle ligaments, that's alot of healing then theres the scar tissue issue, it takes time for the body to adjust to the new normal. I get the 'wow your still here thing', as a palative patient on cycle #63.......yes #63 I totally get it, their response feels like a curse some days but it does also feel like a blessing on others. I really do hope you things stabilise soon for you Tina
