Wishing you well and a speedy recovery.  Hope your results don't take too long. I'm going for the op on 24th June. Is it really painful? It's all happened very quickly. The NHS have been brilliant. It's been a whirlwind. Good luck 

Hi I'm not going to lie, yes very painful but the pain relief helps take it all. Do the breathing exercises, and get up and walk as soon as you can, I was up the next morning. It all helps with expanding your lung. Deep breaths all the time. I'm talking much better now too. I've been told off the doctor to Rest as much as you can after, it's a long, hard recovery. Good luck hope it all goes well.

You've got this!! It's scary, I was terrified but we'll get through this and be cancer survivors.

Yes. We will get through this. I feel positive.  We are lucky it's been found.

Hi Silbella,

I am going in for a lung biopsy on Tuesday. The oncologist called Friday after the cancer review team had looked at my scans (CT & PET). He wanted me to go straight in for surgery, but I feel I should do the biopsy first, so I have to go private.

I am glad you are home already (your pathway has been very quick). I hope your recovery is going well and that you can wean yourself off the pain meds soon.

Let us know about your progress - will you start post-op physio soon? Hope your histology comes back next week.

All the best

Hi sorry I've only just seen this message. Hopefully you may have already had the op. Let us know x

Hi there,

i won’t get the results of the biopsy till Monday. They are talking about a lobectomy (lower lobe r. lung). Can’t get my head round it yet. Don’t want major surgery if there are any other options. Not sure that there are, but glad you are on the mend. I suppose I’m not very brave. Funny, cause I think of myself as a fighter but this has me running scared.

Wishing you all the best…

Same here. I'm terrified of the op. It has a good five year survival rate.
