Bending over post lobectomy causes significant shortness of breath?

With only 3 weeks apart, that must have been difficult. Did you have wedge resection or did they take the lobes? Surgery would have reduced lung capacity.
By Tagresso becoming toxic do you mean pneumonitis?

Thank you for your reply….

I had wedge sections removed from each lung, which is called VATS. Lung function has been OK….. But breathing poor since surgeries in 2020. Very strange!

Toxicity: I was sick on only 40mg. Targresso With blood results concerning. Also in and out of the ER. I had to stop Targresso after 1 1/2 years.
