Hi there! I made a post earlier in the year about waiting for my VATS biopsy results. My experience was very unusual, but if it helps anyone else in future, I figured it would be useful posting it. Last year I was having palpitations, and was sent to A&E just as a precaution. I had a CT scan done

Hi there! I’ve been reluctant to join a forum as I don’t feel like a lung disease patient yet, I guess I’m in a bit of denial still.
