Reassurance needed, please share your experiences of the NHS
He then had CT, PET scans and a mediastinoscopy, followed by surgery (not
VATS
) for an adenocarcinoma, plus there was an unexpected large second tumour discovered, that was attached to his main artery so instead of a re-section, he had his full left lung removed at the beginning of September.

Did anyone have a hemopneumothorax and was then diagnosed with Endomitriosis of the lung?
They immediately diagnosed me with endometriosis of the lung after ruling out trauma or cancer and scheduled me for surgery for
VATs
of the lung and pleuridesis. I kind of panicked and scheduled a second opinion with a gynecologist.

Well hello WEEK 7 once again!
I blame the
vats
of wine I consume, along with sitting all day at a computer. It aint conducive to being slim I can tell you. So......I am hoping once I'm back in my 5K groove once again, the scales will start to make for better reading.

Anyone Else with Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis (EAA)??
As there was no obvious link to the disease, i.e. keeping birds, farmers lung, and any other obvious reason, he arranged for me to have a
VATS
Lung Biopsy, which was done in January this year - I had the please of having the chest drain removed only for the lung to collapse again and have to have another

How serious can oxygen saturation below 90 be?
I have been diagnosed with IPF after a
VATS
biopsy. I do get breathless, especially when going up too many stairs. My normal resting sats are about 95, but when I exercise they drop to about 83, but this does not stop me, I just keep going.

What can be done about the cough?
After having a
VATS
biopsy last December, I now know I have IPF. I have done some research on this lung disease on the internet, and everything you read is negative. At this moment in time, none of this negative information bothers me.

A full on week with plenty of fuss and a wild week-end ahead and my progress with LDN
television in the middle of the night , to distract myself from throbbing joints, and gave myself the total heebie jeebsies, watching a film based on a true story - 'A is for Acid' about the serial killer - Jonathan Haigh who decades back - liked to dissolve his victims in their entirety in large

Good news with my LDN but a rapid descent with slithery flips flops in the rain
After recounting this in her flat , she then disappeared to ferociously cook bacon and scrambled eggs with various
vats
of strong coffee.

We got married 2 months ago after saving for 3 years and this was a bomb shell we hadn't planed on.I have now had X-rays, ct scans , lung function tests and just had a lung biopsy with
vats
done. One of my lungs collapsed during the biopsy and I spent 3 days in ICU.

What to do?
On a follow up appointment my consultant who did the
VATS
confirmed it was lung cancer and wanted to procede as soon as possible with a lobectomy.
