Hello to all my friends and other nice people on this site.My Fev is down to 27 but stable and I am 57 years of age.Last week I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and have to have it removed.Beccause of my lung condition I cannot have a general anaesthetic and have to have a spinal anaesthetic.I wonder if anyone else on here has had a major operation with a spinal anaesthetic and what it was like?
