Strangely my breathing is actually fine Only discovered I had lung problems by accident, was having a CT scan to try rule out cancer of the stomach/bowel as I have been suffering from stomach problems for a while looks like I probably have IBS. So fortunately the cancer was caught very early, I had two small < 10mm nodules in my right upper lobe so they basically removed the whole lobe, cancer not spread anywhere else so that should be the end of it in right lung, I also have a very tiny single nodule in left lung which they will probably zap with radiotherapy.
On top of that, I also have emphysema in both lungs which is why the surgery to remove the cancer was problematic and resulted in the leak.
I'm doing well thanks, had to have a chest drain for 4 weeks due to air leak after the surgery, but that is out now and leak sealed up. I am due to have the stitches out on Monday. Pain is now easily manageable with the odd paracetamol so no sever pain, just what I would call healing pain so that should go fairly soon. Other than that all good so far, no breathing issues, just need to wait now to see what they want to do about my left lung
