Hi, I wish I could help you. Other members have had VATs surgery and will be along soon. I've heard the recovery is lengthy.

Are you in the UK? You can call the BLF helpline 03000 030555, UK office hours or send them an email with your concerns for your wife.

She will need to avoid germs, eat healthily, exercise gently.

In the UK we have the 'PR' course - pulmonary rehabilitation. Try to get her on one of these.

I wish you and your wife the very best for a long future. Peege

I got pneummonia post surgery and frequent infections but now i am fine, i still get flare ups but i am better in my health than for many years. I do hope your wife is the same. Love Margaret x

Hi, I just re-read your post....we are not doctors here. We're patients with varying degrees of knowledge and experience of our own lung issues. P
