Can do heavy work in a few years after surgery for early stage lung cancer

It is not recommended to do heavy work after early operation of lung cancer. After recovering from early stage of lung cancer or feeling well, patients can do light physical activities and should pay attention not to be overworked, but it is not recommended to do heavy work. Early stage lung cancer patients’ tumors are relatively small in size and have not spread or metastasized, so through radical surgery, tumor cells can be removed cleanly, and the prognosis is often better. Appropriate physical activities can help patients recover their body functions, increase resistance, and prolong the survival period. In addition, if early stage lung cancer patients have postoperative complications, such as wound infection, pneumothorax, etc., and a few patients have chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, etc., which may affect the wound healing, the patients are absolutely not allowed to work, and they should pay attention to more rest, and they can take a walk appropriately, or do breathing exercises for exercise, but not for strenuous activities.
