Dad not sleeping after Lobectomy
Hello all My dad had a Lobectomy on Aug 24th (right upper lobe ) he has pain more so at night ( has morphine and is dosing up etc ) has a V pillow to help . Is this common as the lack of sleep doesn’t help on top of having the surgery ? I believe from what I’ve read within the forums this can occur

Back on the transplant list
Yesterday I returned to the lung transplant waiting list after an enforced break due to my Dad picking up his second bout of Covid. Fortunately, Lauren and I didn't get it, too. We've all been doing regular testing and we must have caught Dad's covid very early before he could unwittingly pass it on.

VATS update for all you beautiful people
I had an upper right lobectomy on 22nd of May and wanted to thank everyone for your pre and post operative support and suggestions for making recovery easier. I’m feeling so much better now although my remaining bit of right lung seems to be making mucus. I spend a bit of time coughing and spluttering

Would appreciate advice on these results
I am new to the forum and the diagnosis so would appreciate any advice. In May this year I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's after my antibodies test came strongly positive. Then found out I have a thyroid nodule with two times indeterminate biopsy so recommended lobectomy. My latest labs (did them at

Do Nerve Blocker's work ?
Having had
lung
cancer and a
Lobectomy
I was worried at the thought of cancer of my spine. Then the hospital decided that it wasn't lung cancer but Osteoporosis. As they made an error for 15 month's with my lung cancer and I don't trust any of the medic's apart from my lovely Thoracic Consultant.

Hello all, I've written before about my wife's diagnosis which was T3 N3 M1b Adenocarcinoma of the left upper lobe of lung. Since then she's had a guided needle biopsy which has provided the information all previous tests and scans had failed to uncover. As a result the diagnosis reads as before but
