I had a left lower lobe removed 7 weeks ago, how long does the pain last, I have a swollen side, tingling and like a burning sensation on my side. 

I start adjuvent chemo on Tuesday, 4 cycles every 3 weeks.

Can somebody please help regarding the pain and recovery, I know we are all different.

Thanks

  • Hi jannick,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing this pain. If you haven't already, do discuss this with your doctor.

    We also have nurses available, who may be able to advise. If you'd like to speak to them, you can either post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum to receive a reply from them, or you can call freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Otherwise, if others here have similar experience to share then hopefully they'll see your post and send a reply.
