Excessive weight gain after lower lobectomy
Hi everyone, Since I'd a lower left lobectomy last Nov 2022 I've noticed a gradual increase in my weight. I was 9st 12 Ibs & now I'm 10st 12 Ibs. This notable increase's happened within 6 months. I just can't shift the excess weight. My daily routine hasn't changed & I'm at a loss on how to stop my

Chemotherapy after Lobectomy
My auntie was diagnosed with
lung
cancer last year, and she had a
Lobectomy
around 3 months ago. The surgery went well, and she is recovering well, too. She had an appointment today and was told that they found cancer in 2 lymph nodes that were removed during surgery.

Do I still say I have cancer?
I had the upper left lobe of my lung (that's a mouthful) removed in February. The tumour was crimping a pulmonary artery and when examining the removed bit it was shown to have active cancer cells - they couldn't remove the lobe cleanly enough without nicking the artery so I was told. Consequently

Another Xray but why ?
Hi all. I haven't been here for quite a long time so I hope that you are all coping and getting all the help and support you need. This forum helped me so much. Unfortunately, I now have multiple problems because of the lung misdiagnosis and because of negligence by our hospital. Another long story

Still have shortness of breath from lobectomy in May
I had a left upper lobectomy in May 2023 followd by 4 sessions of chemo. I still have a little shortness of breath left over from my lobectomy. Is this fairly common?

Spiculated nodule found on right lung on post chemotherapy scan after lobectomy on left lung in December 2022.
Hello everyone, Has anyone undergone a lobectomy and four cycles of chemo to find that there is another suspicious nodule on the opposite lung. If so,what were the options?

Arm stiffness
Hi everyone I'm a week post op after a lobectomy and really struggling with arm stiffness. I had a few post surgery complications including surgical emphysema which is now subsiding. I also had an air leak so have been discharged home with a chest drain 😢 the worse part is I can't move my arm it's so

Biopsy results following CT and Pet
Thoughts on how to assess this? Had routine CT scan in November and there was slight changes to the site of the scarring from my R UL wedge resection (also had R LL lobectomy at the same time) 5 years prior. Scans prior to this were all clear. MD wasn't concerned but said to come back in 6 months

Aspergillus post lung transplant.
Hi all, Haven’t been in touch for a while now but mercifully still here. Lungaversary last month which I can only describe as a stormy recovery. Trichosporon infection In clamshell wound delayed discharge by 4 weeks. 1 month in ICU with terrifying hallucinations which still haunt me today. Sternum

Bronchoscopy
My mom was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately 10 days of antibiotics were ineffective. She had a bronchoscopy today and while waiting for results, I was wondering if anybody else was in the same situation and what did the bronchoscopy show?

Rib pain after breathing test
On 22nd I took respiratory test. Ribs in area of LUNG SURGERY in 2019 are very painful upon effort; front, side, and back. I'm taking tylenol and rubbing creams with little improvement. Any one experience this after test?

Exercise post surgery
Hi, I appreciate there are other more serious matters of concern but I would just like to know what types of exercise and when you started after lung surgery. I am bored with physio and less motivated to walk everyday!

gabapentin
I had a lung operation in January to remove dead tissue ( left lobe). I was prescribed gabapentin capsules but whenever I take them I have shortness of breath my chest feels a little tight and also I feel like I want to cough. I stop taking them and things start to settle down again especially after

Lung cancer
Diagnosed with lung cancer very high in lung, Doctor says it's very difficult to get for biopsy, and then tells me that as I weigh 130 kg I might not be suitable for radiotherapy, is this right?
