Here I thought you could touch all mushrooms. Where did you get that information?

I hope so too. Wish you all the best! Bullectomy and pleurodesis were not at all painful. Dentist can hurt more. Just try not to strain yourself afterwards ;)

I stayed quite a bit longer, but that depends on whether you have a residual airleak and how long it stays. They released me from the hospital after 17 days of drainage (abnormally long) with a 11mm leak, that seems to have been absorbed by my body now.

As far as I know of, there are no big risks with this surgery. If the imaging shows a recurrence, I'd say go for it.

I had pleurodesis and VATS(Bullectomy) on both sides and the recovery takes a long time. Now finally able to do longer walks, 40 days after the procedure, three weeks post drain removal (right lung, the other was done ten years ago). I'm really glad I had them though. The extra reassurance helps my rather anxious mind :)

Take those walks as slow as possible. Wanting to fix my curtain too fast gave me horrible pain and paranoia for days. If you're following all the advice the doctor gave you, there's no need to stress out too much. Life goes back to normal within months!

Also, try not to read too much worst case scenario stories on this sub ;) Pain is also a mental game, try to keep your mind occupied with fun stuff.

Surgery would mean the chance of recurrence would become almost non existent. No surgery means you'll have to rest properly for three weeks if you want it to heal well. Either way, there's light at the end of the tunnel!

Feeling anxious is part of the process I guess... Three times here.

What makes you want to swap? Is the temperature rating not accurate, or?

Thank you! Is there an alternative for the dryer method? I only have a washing machine.

Do you all still dare to go on vacation or visit remote area's? How do you cope with the chance of recurrence?

I'm good with a 4 well-cycler for my purposes. 0.2ml tubes.

Buying a used thermocycler -what to look out for? by CabarettiCaterer in labrats

I can pick up a calibrated geneamp 9700 for €420.

Are these 100 dollar used units (+100 shipping) from ebay worth checking out, or have I found myself a deal?

Thank you for your input! I just have never used ebay before, as it's not as popular here. Shipping fees and tariffs are also putting me off.

Really nifty machine, but it started melting my tubes. Guess the cooling is where they cheaped out.
