Ok. First off I don't know what you mean by holes in the lung. I thought a hole in the lung collapsed your lung giving you a pneumothorax. You know, like "he shot me in the lung with a gun and the bullet left a hole in my lung." Is the hole in the lung phrase I see others talking about something else?

Well I should probably just call it a cavity because that's what it is! The area where the cavity is even though it collapses is not tissue that you will ever get back so your lung capacity gets smaller and smaller. The more cavities you have. Sorry if I confused you with the use of the word hole although that is what the cavity is.
