    Well I am recouperating after my keyhole surgery to remove the lower lobe if my right lung. Dr was very happy and has put the op on YouTube. !! I have a 3 cm incision   I am feeling ok but I have air leakage so still have the drain on which is uncomfortable. 

    Thank you all got your great advice. Because of that I found this wonderful surgeon am now cancer free!

    love Anne-Louise

        I know! The only countries where I have no problem with my name are France and Sweden ( lots of French history and influence in Sweden so maybe that's why) I okay with the Sydney symphony and glad to say I've been back at work since August.

      Yeah for "cancer free"!  : )  Boo for the air leak! Those chest tubes can be horribly uncomfortable… particularly if you need to sneeze or cough! Does the surgeon think the sarcoidosis may be contributing to the continuation of the air leak? I was a "slow healer" too. The surgery went really well, and I bounced back to feeling normal quite rapidly… but that persistant air leak sure took it's sweet time to seal shut! I got so tired of looking at the plural fluid collection in that little plastic box, that I began slipping my teacup poodle's sweatshirts and t-shirts over it. HA! I had the cutest chest drain the nurses had ever seen! ha ha ha! Hang tough… it'll close up sooner or later. One more question… in the symphony… do you play a wind instrument? Just curious if large lung capacity may contribute to persistent air leaks. Although… Celeste… were you running prior to lung surgery? Because that would shoot my potential theory in the foot.
