Thanks. Did you do any fitness activities before your op ? We have Active Sheffield which is run by Sheffield Hallam University, English Institute of Sport and Yorkshire Cancer research. I found them really motivating and they also run courses post op.
Sorry for the delay in responding changed password still locked out so finally got back as I said my op was 20th August I was diagnosed mid May after xray then ct scan to be sure then a pet scan then a biopsy 3 weeks before my op I was introduced online to alvie app I was referred. I have on the app a specialist nurse , nutritionist , coach , and counsellor. I then had to go to the local council gym where my fitness was assessed then it was back with the app and Fitbit improvement of my daily steps and general health over the 3 weeks it was get yourself as fit as you can . The operation went well my wound in under my armpit slightly towards my back on the right side . During the first week I was short of breath while walking now 6 weeks on I’m ok walking but any upward slope or stairs brings on the short of breath. Now I have been called back to the gym for a post op assessment I now my numbers are lower . So they are introducing me to Canmove google it for information I get a free pass for the gym and induction plus trainers who have the connection with this Alvie app so 3 months of free gym membership classes , swimming , gym equipment I start after I have my induction. Going back to the op the thing I found the worse for my was the drain coming out of my wound attached the a big box hand bag it was very uncomfortable I had it in for 10 long days . Hope your fitness improves greatly and you sale through you operation. I’m back at the hospital Monday xray first then see the surgeon for lab results on the part of lung they sent away . Is it clear is there any more treatment
