Cathy’s Journey: Life-Changing Surgery and Care for Tracheobronchomalacia

Cathy Luhman’s life was at a standstill due to severe tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), a condition that made breathing feel like exhaling through a cocktail straw. Unable to care for her grandchildren or enjoy daily activities, Cathy knew she needed expert care. After hearing glowing reviews from a fellow TBM patient, Cathy contacted Dr. Richard Lazzaro, Chief of Thoracic Surgery, Southern Region, RWJBarnabas Health. In this inspiring testimonial, Cathy shares her emotional journey: • Living with the challenges of severe TBM. • Finding hope through a TBM support group. • How Dr. Lazzaro’s innovative surgery transformed her airway and saved her life. • Regaining her health and walking 2 miles again! Dr. Lazzaro and his team employed a novel approach to restore Cathy’s ability to breathe freely.
