Lost my mom to aspergillosis
On Monday morning my mother passed away. She had lung cancer twice. One in 2007 in her right upper lobe. She had a lobectomy. In 2009 it came back but she needed only radiation. Since then she's been clean. In 2013 she was diagnosed with aspergillosis. Over time though, this fungal ball, took a toll

Endometriosis surgery resulted in a colostomy
hi, im 19 and about 2 weeks I had laparoscopic surgery to remove extensive endometriosis (described as stage 4). All this has come as quite a shock, from the time between my diagnostic laparascopy and the surgery to excise it the endo had dramatically spread and my bowel was severely stuck. The surgery

Lobectomy
Today's the day I go into hospital, I have Lobectomy of upper lobe left lung tomorrow. I am so nervous now and will be glad when it is all over and I am on the road to recovery. I do have COPD so I know I will never be free of that but hope the SOB will be a bit better. Love Jan xx

hysterectomy for stage 4 endo?
Hello all! I had a laparoscopy for stage 4 endo last year and it has sadly not given any relief. I have tried a number of different 'pills' to try and resolve symptoms of pain, bleeding and fatigue but the whole thing seems to just keep getting worse. I am on a special diet, I do exercise when i can

Scared of lobectomy next week
Hi. I have been scheduled for a lobectomy (upper right lobe) and scared. A pulmonologist told me I had nothing to fear and suggested repeat scan in 6 - 8 months but to not worry- it was nothing. My rheumatologist however, felt from viewing the radiologist report, that it seemed inappropriate to leave

Shocked & scared & confused now
Hello everyone my name is Clair & I am new to the site. I have lung cancer for which I've had a Lobectomy on my righthand side. The tumour was attached to two sides of my pleura & was 7cm. My surgeon wasn't going to undertake surgery if it tumour was attached to the pleura but did so as he said I wouldn't

Colostomy
Dont panic. There is a lot of info on the internet. Type in bladder and bowel foundation. Ring colostomy assoc. Having a stoma is no big deal. It may be temporary for three months to let the intestines heal and will be reversed. I have opted for an ileostomy for incontinence. It will at least give me

Colostomy surgery
I'm having surgery in 3 days, I'm so scared. My diagnosis is colovaginal fistula after a hysterectomy 20 years ago, and C sections prior to that. I'm having adheliosis, (lesions removed) from bladder vagina and colon. There are 2 surgeons both doing their bit. They have said there maybe a stoma in

Gastroparesis - A Novel Cause of Persistent Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Elevation in Hypothyroidism
Reading this case report I kept holding my breath. Surely he can't be suffering (or have suffered)
ALL
those disorders? Surely he can't be taking
ALL
those medicines? Surely if he has high TSH (no mention of FT4 - only that he was "clinically euthyroid") then it really doesn't matter why

Lobectomy middle and bottom lobe right lung.r 5 days
Hi Everyone, I had surgery on March 17th to remove large cancer tumour from middle lobe of right lung they also had to take most of the bottom lobe as well. I had a pretty rough time for a while morphine didn't work on me so ended up having morphine substitute, ketamine, and four other drugs to help

VATS Lobectomy looming....
Well, all going well, this time next week I'll be minus 20% of my lungs. It's all happened really quickly after a very severe infection in January, the wheels were set in motion with the same surgeon who implanted my valves (they didn't work :( ) last year. Now it's LVRS (lung volume reduction surgery
