Lobectomy

AlisonM
Offline

Hi

 

I had a right lower lobe lobectomy for an adenocarcinoma in January 2020. Recovered well but struggle with ongoing breathlessness (on initial exertion, going upstairs, worse on days if feel a little under par). Also experience low energy so have to pace myself for my daily chores and activities. Does anyone else who's had a lobectomy have the same experience and does it improve? Any tips? Thanks

  • Hi AlisonM,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I wanted to send a reply as it should mean a few more people see your post, and so hopefully you'll receive further replies soon if there are others here with similar experience. You could also try searching the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) in case there are other potentially relevant discussoins.

    Do discuss any concerns with your doctor as appropriate also. And if you'd like to talk things through with someone, our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
