any success stories with collapsed lungs. my husband's lower left lobe has not expanded. he had a large amount of fluid removed during his 3 week stay in the hospital. he had 10 radiation treatments to his airway to try to shrink a tumor which is blocking the air from getting to his lung which is preventing it from expanding. the radiation treatment was suppose to be 75% successful and 2 weeks after his last treatment the scan did not show it expanding; however he did mention his breathing seems "looser". the doctor told us a while back that sometimes the patients feel it before it actually shows up on the scan. anyway, any good stories out there about collapsed lungs finally expanding?

today is the first time i've used this site. my husband has the same problem you're referring to. he'sbeen on the couch all day in alot of pain from this stomach bloating, fullness, gas, etc. did anything work for you?
