My mum has just undergone a wedge resection of a 22mm lesion in left lung. Seems to have gone well, does anyone have experience of flying after procedure.

Thanks Fran

Hello Fran
Lorraine from the Foundation here, sorry I can't provide any specific experience.

As you say best to talk this through with the medical team who are looking after your mum. Also worth thinking about travel insurance, a factsheet is available.
best wishes
Lorraine
