Listing query for Lung Transplants England
Can I ask is there still a hold on listing in England, for Lung Transplants? I have been informed lately that the 'super urgent, and urgent' are now lifted and its business as usual, as we all had a window from Covid, bit perplexed as I know of a few patients who fit normal criteria, not yet listed

Hi... me again... So: Dad had upper right lobectomy December 2019 (T1C L0).

RethiNKing which immune cells are the best weapon against lung cancer.
Immune cells called ‘natural killer’ (NK) cells could be a powerful weapon for fighting lung cancer, according to Melbourne researchers. Studying preclinical and patient samples of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute team revealed that NK cells – but not T cells – are essential

Lung surgery Bi-lobectomy
He advised where it is and the cause of the blockage would mean a bi-
lobectomy
the middle and lower lobe of my right
lung
removing. Obviously quite a major operation and I am worried about recovery and how I will be after.

How do you calculate cancer free years?
Hi All, I was diagnosed with 2B non small cell adenocarcinoma lung cancer December 2019. 2/20/2020 I had my upper left lobe removed. Beginning of March I started chemo. Last chemo 5/6/2020. Scan 6/21/2020 (NED). 2 years and 5 years are considered milestones. What date do I use as the start date

Newbie looking for advice
Hi, I'm about to have a lower left lobectomy. I'm a very fit 67 year old that runs and cylcles. I was wondering if there are any more runners on here that have had a similar operation? How long was you in hospital and how long after did you start running again?

One day at a time.
I haven't posted for awhile but I have been reading other posts. My one MRI and other test found no sign of cancer for which I am grateful. It is now 17 months since my lobectomy and 11 months since the completion of my chemotherapy. Friends ask me if I think about the cancer and the answer is NO
