I had a right lower lobectomy April 2023. 2 months afterwards I developed a cough that turned out to be caused by a chylothorax. In June, 2023, they ended up going back in to seal the leak and I've been good since

Thanks for the reply. I’m glad it worked out for you. This is less than 2 weeks after surgery and the surgeon says it is normal. It will slowly resolve.
