Your Dr will likely want to follow up on this CT finding within a few months. Taking extra deep breaths several times every hour, making yourself cough several times an hour, & staying upright when not sleeping should help some (did they give you an “incentive spirometer” after surgery? Keep using that) If you (or others @ home)smoke, this would be the ideal time to quit, for your lung health.
