Experiences with

Collapsed lung

hi I had fluid on the lung and a collapsed lung in May this year. It was successfully drained but 4 months later , I still get a pain where the drain went in plus pain just under the left lung . It doesn’t hurt if I sit still . I understand that the lung lining has to stick back together .

I did have a partially collapsed lung whilst in hospital and wondered if this was something to do with it. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I’m seeing the cardiac nurse in a couple of days so will ask her about it then.

These milestones were achieved with even spending 5 days in ICU with a collapsed lung. We the ones that know got heart conditions are the lucky ones in reality, as something can be done about it. Good luck everyone.

Had surgery on Feb 27th 2024, 4 days in I.C.U with collapsed lung during operation, back home now slowly recovering, get very tired very easily, trying to do 20 mins walk a day, that's my limit at the mo without getting exhausted

After a chest X-ray, I was treated for Pneumonia and collapsed lung, spent 12 days on oxygen and was eventually discharged 2 weeks later. I had to unfortunately cancel my Easter holiday to Tunisia. Please be safe everyone ❤️❤️❤️

a couple of weeks ago , I was admitted to hospital with a pleural effusion plus collapsed lung . I had 2.2litres of fluid drained from my lung! Has anyone else been in this situation ? It’s a bit scary as when I googled pleural effusion , it indicated that I don’t have a lot of time left .

I was hoping to go on another trial but due to plural effusion, collapsed lung etc unfortunately I cannot now do this. I have been offered chemo in tablet form called Cyclophosphamide and wondered if anyone is on this or has been on this and might have positive feedback. Many thanks xx

Post surgery I came out with a collapsed lung,chest infection ,stomach with 10kgs fluid retention and then AF with a slight blockage too yet to be fully resolved. Three days in ICU wearing a seacap and lots of oxygen to help me breathe easier.

further to my previous post, I’ve had my results and the cancer has returned to my lung but, i was given the positive news that I’ve been referred to The Christie hospital for chemotherapy and maybe immunotherapy. Sounds a bit daunting but im determined to give this my “all”. Got to build myself up,

Hi looking for advice. I am currently waiting on confirmed diagnosis of anca vasculitis but based on my symptoms and anti-mpo test it looks like I have it. I am on prednisolone but also rivaroxiban as I had a pulmonary embolism recently. I have had a bad reaction to iron infusion that caused calcium

Hi all hope you had a good christmas, my hubby has had 3 call ups for lung transplant this year, the last one he was ready for theatre, perfect match but when they got the lungs they were damaged. he needs a double lung transplant and is getting worse, anyone out there in the same boat, how do you cope

Inhalers - there are so many! Mid-October, I was breathless, my GP arranged a home visit (never knew that these existed!) and an ambulance was called, off to the hospital for the usual 14 hours waiting on a hard chair, thankfully returned home being told I had a virus, finished the predisalone but still

It's been 14 years since I required infusion and now I've been diagnosed with a new lung cancer. I feel well prepared for this by the suggestions you've shared over the years. It's KRAS G12F and I'm doing carboplatin, Alimta , and Keytruda. What I would live to hear are suggestions for some tunes

just received the news cancer has returned. Next stage is a biopsy to see if I can have immunotherapy. Can anyone report success with this treatment ?

I have a small node on my lung that hs grown 1 mm in the last year. My pulmonary Dr. suggests removal via surgery or treatment with radiation. Before radiation I must have a biopsy in order for medicare to pay for it. I am inclined towards the biopsy and radiation treatment. I asked my radiologist if

hi I’m really really worried sick to my stomach can anyone tell me if pulmonary fribrosis is always a serious case my husband is only 42 and it quite healthy doesn’t smoke and we’re waiting on results coming back from hospital scan results but it’s the waiting I’m terrified of the outcome as he is so

Thank you for the replies to my post asking about the Royal Papworth - So with the reassurance all would be well, I was admitted to the day ward last Friday. The care and treatment was very good in general. But as seems to be my luck, all didn't go to plan again and what should have taken 2.5hrs ended
