Recovery after extrapleural pneumonectomy — what to expect?

Caregiver · · 280 views
My wife is scheduled for an EPP (extrapleural pneumonectomy) at Brigham and Women's next month. We've been told the recovery is significant but we're struggling to find real-world experiences.

How long were you in the hospital? When could you start doing normal activities again? Any tips for caregivers on how to help during recovery? I want to be as prepared as possible.
