Breathless after surgery for lung cancer

I have a surgery for lung cancer with half a lung removed. I still have the cough and the breathlessness that took me into the lung and respiratory unit will ever get rid of the breathlessness and cough.

  • Hey there, 

    I lost most of my right lung 3.5 months ago. I’m not sure how far post op you are but my breathlessness has greatly reduced. I do find that I get out of breath more quickly than normal, but this is the new normal for me and will continue to be that way from what my consultant has told me. I hope that you are recovering well and that the cough and breathlessness eases!
