Hello Britething

im a 59 yr old female 

I too had right upper lobectomy 7yrs ago. It is a scary thing to go through but you will get all the support and help from the medical team looking after you. 
positivity is the key. 
I used a “V “ pillow after surgery to aid sleep and comfort when sitting and a small soft cushion against my chest to support me when coughing

i I had a further lung  surgery, left side  lingulectomy 2 years ago and I’m still ok regards breathing and fitness 

everything in moderation and listen to your body  I’m sure you will be fine after your surgery so please don’t be afraid and just listen to your body

i wish you a speedy recovery xx

Thank you both for your kind words and support. It is a daunting thing to go through. Knowing that others have got through it will help me to be brave. Surgery date is set for 3/7. Sleep is fitful and stress is through the roof. I will keep you posted.
