I had a Thymoma removed 4 weeks ago. Why is my right breast hurting so much?
How long can the shoulder and chest pain last for after VATS surgery?

Hello Kakembo,
I am sorry you are experiencing so much pain after having a thymoma removed. It might be worth giving your doctor or medical team a quick call and asking them what might be causing this pain and how long this is supposed to last after surgery. Your medical team will be in the best position to advise you further on what to expect after surgery.
Hopefully others on the forum who have had this type of surgery will be along shortly too to share their experience with you.
Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if you feel the need to talk things through with them.
I hope the pain subsides soon and that you make a swift recovery after your operation.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
