I had the op on the 31st, and I can honestly say I have ever felt so ill. I came out on Sunday last in a lot of pain, weak, breathless. The op was keyhole, and I must say if I was offered the other lung, I would think twice. The good results are supposed to last two years, but the doctor told me it will be six to eight months before I'm back to normal. Not much of a bargain!

I've been offered "valves" so I'll let you know when I find out. I was talking to a man who'd had LVRS and he's as happy as a pig in muck...
