This is a very complex problem and you didn't mention if your trachea was involved. I would suggest you see your GP who is quite capable of going over the reports in your file from the specialist and surgeon and explaining this problem to you and the prognosis. If you can't afford to see a doctor then please post under this message and let me know if this involves your trachea. Thanks Marcy
