Side effects after VATS
Hello everyone, I'm new here and came across the community after googling "side effects after vats". My surgery was in 2015 and I'm very grateful that I didn't need any other treatment. As others in the community, I have had sensitivity in my right side, which I expected, but after 4 years the tightness

Undiagnosed since 10/2018
So I have a pneumothorax October 27, 2018 was released from the hospital November 8, 2018 with not understanding why my lung collapsed. November 22 I had the VATS on my right side and it has happened six more times since then they still don’t know why, I might need another surgery if it keeps interrupting

No biopsy possible
Hi there. I just wondered if there is anyone out there who has not been able to give biopsy tissue because the tumour(s) were either inaccessible or were sitting too near either main blood vessels or other risky areas. I have had two operations to remove two tumours. One operation removed aright lobe

A typical carcinoid net's syndrome etc
After coughing up a lot of phlegm in hospital whilst been treated for a leg ulcer which wouldn't heal. Two very junior doctors still doing their rotation, who I can't thank enough, they took it as a sample and sent me for a chest x ray that showed up 15 plus broken ribs which I had no knowledge of. They

Cryptococcus
I am a post liver transplant recipient. I got Cryptococcus in February. When oral meds didn't work, I did two months of amphotericin infusions and had VATS surgery to remove three of the eight nodules that were in my lung. I am wondering if anyone else has had this and what is your story with it? Thanks

Numbness continues
Hi, I had a VATS three months ago, all pain is gone after 8 weeks as expected. But I still have that feeling of numbness and burning in the side of my chest where surgery was done. Like it is not your body now .. Can anyone advise: is this common? How long it may take to recover and is there something

Introduction
Hi, I recently joined this community and am finding it helps especially in not feeling alone with mbc. I was originally diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal bc in 2003 (at 38). Now in March 2018, some 15 years later I stumble upon nodules in my lungs after having a cold/cough. Found more nodules

I'm the mend.
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

Well I met my consultant on Tuesday with my wife and we went through the procedure. I couldn't get biopsies as the lung would bust plus it would take a while for the results. My surgeon had stated instead of taking away a third of the lung he gave me a chance, he had a controlled frozen pathogens in

Miracles can happen.
I met my Surgeon on Tuesday along with my wife, we spoke about the procedure. He stated before he removes a third of my lung containing the tumers, he wanted to try something.

Truth about Adeno?
I met with my pulmonologist yesterday as I approach my first CT following VATS 4.30.18 to remove 2 stage 1A nodules (one upper lobe wedge/one lower lobe lobectomy). He said something that has been unsettling. It might have been information that was told to me before and I didn't process but wanted to
