3 months agoPersistent pain after lung surgery can be challenging, and many patients find that while some improvement may occur over time, complete resolution isn't always guaranteed. Connecting with others in this community who have had similar experiences with lobectomy recovery might provide valuable insights, and discussing pain management options with your medical team could help explore additional strategies for finding relief.

a month agoMy removal of my right lower lobe was 4 years ago. Yes it gets better. I am no 90% free of pain and some days I have zero pain. My cancer has now returned in my middle lobe and I’ve started on Keytruda every 22 days for a year.
