Anyone else experiencing scarring down and compressed airway?

I had a lower left lobectomy two years ago and am now experiencing scarring and airway collapse with groundglass opacities in upper left lobe. Surgeon says nothing he can do. See pulmonologist next week. Anyone else with these issues? Best to All!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

Hi Felix, I had VATS procedure in 2020 to both lungs because of tumors. I have developed scar tissue and mucus plugging in the airway. My breathing isn’t good.

Very sorry to hear that. Did you have a lobectomy and is the scarring and plugging in a different lobe? My airway seems to be compressed by something (possibly scar tissue) and there's mucous plugging and ground glass opacities, is your situation the same?
Are they treating your breathing issues?
