@vic83,
Thank you for sharing. I'm glad your surgery was successful. When was your surgery?

I am attempting to wean myself off of Tylenol 3 weeks after surgery because I have chronic kidney disease that is stable and I don't want to further damage my kidneys. It is hard because I have pain across my chest. Do you still have pain after your surgery?

I am doing the gentle exercises that the Mayo Thoracic Surgery messaged me. They are really helping me regain my range of motion in my shoulders and arms.

Did you have biomaker testing done on the tumor? Are you on any other therapy?

My first VAT was Dec 2021. Of course I was careful how I moved until fully healed. The numbness (like a tight bra) lasted four months and then went away...weird more than painful. They did the Mayo complete solid tumor panel which is hard to understand.
