    Cheryl posted a new activity comment 2 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Majella. In reading your post, I found it very concerning as I too have symptoms that basically mirror yours. I just passed my one year post op of VATS (rt. lower lung removed for CA) and diagnosed in 2017 with PF, which I did nothing about until last year.
    I handled my recovery with minimal O2 use and didn’t use it or think I needed it until…[Read more]

      Hi Cheryl, sorry to hear about your condition and yes it is easy to become dependent on the 02.

    Hello all.  I am a “newbie” to this site.
