Pain after lobectomy (lung cancer) surgery: When will it go away?

I had VATS surgery to both lungs in 2020 and also still have pain. Pain management is going very well BUT I am breathless most of the time.
Are you on oxygen?

Yes I am still on oxygen, it seems to help

No, I had oxygen therapy 4 times a day for 2 days in hospital, but have not needed it since.
I can now walk about 3 miles a day, but get breathless going up hills.
Almost 6 weeks since surgery and the pain is improving. I can now sleep on my left side.
