I know her lungs were damaged, as well, because they kept removing chunks. Hopefully your therapist isn't worried because she has reduced lung capacity.

Thanks for sharing this. I can't even imagine how frightening it must feel to not be able to breathe well. And who knows...maybe my therapist does have panic around the issue. Actually, both my pdoc and my T are immune compromised. Pdoc is recovering from cancer she had last year and T has her lung issues. Yet they both dislike telehealth sessions. No doubt both are struggling with it all.
Weird times
