What Problems Can Be Expected After Having Lung With Tumor Removed?
I am a 60 year old man and 18 months ago had my left lung removed together with a large tumour. I am now back to playing golf a couple of times a week and walking distances without any problem. Would I be likely to suffer any problems flying away on holiday to Malta, for example?

Hi
Since your tumour has been removed u do not need to worry.
I will advise u carry a portable oxygen cyclinder when u are travelling which may help you in case of respiratory distress.
