Dam Steph, im sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Heres a word of advice about after the embolization.... do not allow yourself to shy away from light exercise ( walking would be best). You dont want to do anything strenuous for a while, but you also dont want to lose lung function. After my first embolization i was afraid to do anything and wound up losing a good bit of lung function that i never got back. AFter my other two embolizations, i was up and walking, pacing in my hospital room and the halls the next day. It helped me to maintain my pft's and keep them where they were before the embolization. You may also cough up some blood after the embolization for a day or two ( or more) smaller amounts though, but it is pretty common. I wish you the best ....please let us know how you are doing.......... ((((HUGGS))))
