Lung surgery

Hi all

I am seeing the lung surgeon on Wednesday for the first time, any questions that I should ask.? I will be asking types of surgery, recovery, operation length, risks, possible side effects and about CPAP as I have severe Obstructive apnea.

Any suggestions, things you wish you'd asked?

Thanks

    The Roy Castle website has a very informative booklet called "My lung surgery" which I would recommend downloading.

    I found the contents most helpful when preparing to meet my surgeon. 

    Hope it helps you prepare for your first meeting and that the operation goes well and that you recover well.
