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… Read more
