Hi, I had surgury Oct 30th 2015 on lower left lobectomy. I did not have to have radiation or chemo. It was smaller than a stage one cancer. I thank God for that and appreciate all the prayers. I do however have a situation that I would like to see if anyone has been thru before. It seems that the vegas nerve was damaged and the diaphragm for the left side is paralized. I cannot walk and talk at the same time. I get out of breath and cannot exert myself. I have trouble with normal everyday things. The surgeon wanted to see if it would improve so I have been dealing with this for 1 year. The surgeon now says that they can go back in and do a surgery to "shorten" the diaphragm to see if that would aleiviate the problem. I would like to know if anyone has had this proceedure and if it helped. I think it is called diaphragm plication. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks and wellness to all. |
