I have just been told I need surgery on my right lung, I will be contacted in 2 weeks then another 4 weeks before operation, can you give me some exercises to keep well before the operation please.
Your hospital team may also have advice and patient information leaflets on exercises and how to prepare for surgery.
You could also ask to be referred to the physiotherapist for exercises that you may be able to do prior to surgery.
I hope all goes well with your surgery.
