Hi and many thanks for all your support and messages over the past few weeks.

I had a VATS lung procedure to remove two lung segments containing non cancerous tumors plus the surgeon performed a bullectomy so I guess I got 3 for the price of two.

This was all done on Wednesday 17th August, I was home on Sunday 21st August and I'm doing fine, stitches were taken 2 days ago and I feel greeeeeeat 😛 I've taken 4 weeks off work just for things to settle but thank God it wasn't cancer 😷.

Thanks for being there you lovely people xxxxx
