I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious, lifelong lung disease. It causes lung scarring (tissues scar and thicken over time), making it harder to breathe. Symptoms may come on quickly or take years to develop. No cure exists.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Nose bleed may be the aftereffects of cancer treatment. Nose bleeding can be managed. 1.please apply some ice pack for relief on nose bridge
2. Sit upright rather than lying down
3.lean forward and breathe through mouth
if bleeding is severe do check for any allergies. You may also have homeo medicine for some relief.

1. By laparoscopy if you mean minimally invasive thoracic surgery. It is better.
2. Selecting procedure for surgery is all about customizing it for the type and extent of lung cancer and according to patient compliance.
3. Without knowing disease burden, its hard to select what's best for your patient.
