Frank Lamb Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Tom,glad you are home already.Surgery on the lungs is very painful procedure and does take time to heal. Hope there is no spread beyond the tumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Tom, Been waiting for an update. Glad the operation went well, now to wait for the pathology report, you know it is malignant but the borders have to be checked. If you have pain medication take it on the needed time, never wait till the pain is there. Take it easy and let Jacqueline pamper you while you are healing. Hugs to both Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I am so glad they were able to opererate on you. Take time to heal, one day at a time. You will find yourself getting stronger and stronger. Don't forget to keep using that breathing thing. That is very important. I hope they gave you some good meds. Prayers sent that your pathology report has good news. Are they going to give you chemo? Keep us posted. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don M Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Tom: I would also like to wish you a speedy recovery and a good pathology report. Maybe the disturbing of all the scar tissue is causing more pain for you than most people experience from the operation. If you are in pain now, you shoud ask for stronger drugs. It is hard to have a smooth healing and be a happy camper when you are in pain. I took pain pills for about 4 days after my operations and after that did not need them.
