Collapsed lung! Are you in the hospital? That is no fun at all (I was hospitalized for a week when I had one). Please take good care and update when you can.

jen1, a collapsed lung can be caused by factors that aren't cancer. I'm sorry you're enduring this. You'll be in my prayers. Let us know how you get on, OK?

Thank you sbelizabeth

Jen,

I'm concerned. A collapsed lung, pneumothorax, is generally considered an emergency situation. I'm not a doctor, of course, but maybe you should touch base with yours again. And yes, sbelizabeth is correct. Lung collapse can be caused by things other than cancer. It can even be spontaneous. Mine was caused by a "slow leak" after my lung was nicked during port insertion.

Take care, Caryn
