Thank you, no one wants cancer however I am blessed I have it at this stage, it hasn't spread and contained in the right upper lung, due to my bullous emoghysema surrounding the 2 bad boys of cancer they can't go in for biopsyies as the lung will burst. I await a pre ok meeting then off to surgery top right lobe coming out. I am 100% fine with no symptoms, still holding it together and still working to keep me active mentally. Just can't wait for the surgery to get rid if this. My stars were all good so here goes.

Hi

As your FEV is in the normal range 80/120

And your FVC is in the normal range 80/120

The ratio is ignored.

Wish you well with the forthcoming surgery. And a pleasant outcome.

So is all my stats good?

Anything over 80% for either value is considered normal - these are really good numbers, you’ve probably got better lung function than a significant proportion of people without cancer. 👍
