Had Adelectisis In Lung. Is Growing In Size. Treated With Atb. Am Asthmatic. Have Back Pain, Tired. Problem?
I was admitted to the hospital in March with adelectisis in my Right Middle lung. I was treated with atb and steroids as I am a severe asthmatic. It appears that the adelectisis is actually getting bigger. I feel fine besides the severe back pain and I am very tired as I can't sleep d/t pain. Since this is getting bigger should I worry about Lung cancer. I am a non smoke, but was raised by two heavy smokers. My dad died of cancer of the Lung and my mom died of ovarian cancer.

take pulmonary rehabilitiation exercises for lungs and shortcourses of steroids and other supportive therapies
