Is anyone familiar with the endobronchial stenting procedure? I am having more and more breathing problems so until I am well enough to do chemo, they're offering me this alternative. Any advice?

Hello @Expired‍, thank you for opening this discusion and sharing what you've been going through.

Let me tag some other members who may be able to share their experience with this.

Have any of you undergone a endobronchial stenting procedure? If so, can you share your experience? How did the procedure go? Did you have any pain or discomfort? Was there any recovery time? Has it helped your breathing?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
