The discussion was about the lungs and recovery and if the lungs ever really heal. I meant to get back to it when I had the time. Sorry to take so long.

Unfortunately, with cancer the lung never heals completely. What was lung tissue is now scar tissue and that doesn't absorb oxygen.

I forget what the rest of the question was so would the person who asked it remind me what it was?
