Hello @mike1942 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm guessing this has been as frustrating as it has been concerning, especially after trying to recover. You will notice that I have moved your post into the Lung Health Group, as well as kept it in the Cancer Group you originally posted it in. This may help bring in other members who have experiences they can share.
Can I clarify that you just had this start 10 months after your surgery? It wasn't happening before that?

Actually, posted for my wife. This pain started several days after surgery as did the cough, Mucus blobs started about a month after. Antibiotics three weeks ago for 10 days and cough mitigated, blobs somewhat smaller occurring every two-three days. However, pain levels, tightness and swelling has remained same since surgery in June 2021! Thank you
