Hi it is so nice to hear that I am not the only person in the world that had the same problem. I had two collasped lunges this in the past six month's. 1 chest tube and then surgery. I am recovering from thorasastic surgery on my right lung.

My OB/GYN introduced me to Lupron a few month's ago and I was sopossed to start it last month, right when my lung collasped again. I was very frustrated. I do want to use Lupron, however, I can't until I heal from my surgery.

What luck we have huh :). I am so glad you wrote, I thought I was the only person in the world with this condition. Please stay in touch.
