Hi there and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about the lobectomy your daughter needed a year ago and the side effects she is continuing to experience.

Unfortunately there can be some problems after lung cancer surgery as explained on the CRUK webpages and some of these can be longer term side effects.

Shortness of breath including some discomfort can be one of these but often a referral to a breathlessness clinic can help, so do encourage your daughter to ask her GP about this.

It is reassuring to hear she had an chest x-ray (I presume) that came back okay so hopefully nothing more serious is causing this.

I hope this is helpful but do get back if you have anymore questions. The helpline is also open weekdays 9-5 on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer to call us.

All the best

Naomi
