Thyroid blood test results
I'm new here and would like some feedback on my results if possible please. I've recently had a blood test as I've been struggling with low energy levels and mood, I had a lobectomy 3 years ago but this is the first time I've had a detailed test. It looks like I have a low Vit D which I can supplement

Nerve pain after VATS surgery
Hello everyone. First of all, I have never seen a braver group of survivors. Your stories, words of encouragement and positive outlook is amazing. My question is how everyone that has had VATS lobectomy surgery have dealt with your nerve pain. I am 3 weeks healing from surgery and feel just like me

Unlikely to get listed for Lung Transplant.
Good morning all, I just wondering if anyone had come up against this in the UK and what they tried to do next. The situation is, I have been through the 3 day lung assessment at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester UK. As well as going back for several more tests over a further six month period. The

Will anti depressants help?
I had a total colectomy when I was 18, 47 yrs ago. I still wake up everyday and think how friggin stupid I was to have had that operation done, but there were my parents in my room when the drs told me I was going to die. I really wish I would have had the courage to say 'send me home so I can die'

What to do
End of the line with 20% chance of success. Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosed July 2017 strongest chemotherapy possible for 6 rounds 3 weeks apart, caused the tumor to shrink by 50% but came back one month later and spread to my liver and traveling up my spine, they want to try immunotherapy for 2 months

lobectomy - any words of advice?
I am 43 and a non smoker but have been diagnosed with a congenial lung defect (intralobular sequestration). I ave had a very healthy life so far with no coughs, colds, asthma etc. The concept of a lobectomy is a little terrifying but the surgeons think it is the best way forwards. I am trying to be think

C T Scan results
The results were not good. There was small, but continued growth in the left lung tumor and new growth in a previously stable nodule in the right lung. After reviewing all the possibilities for treatment and the very slow progression of the tumors, my oncologist and I decided on a watch and wait plan

Talking about blood...
Hi everybody, I must say this site is certainly a godsend when it comes to giving encouragement and inspiration. So thanks everybody who replies to worries, anxiety and concerns,especially those not fully addressed by GPs because of time restraints. The latest posts on blood are of particular interest

17 years of various treatments
Hi Y'all, Regarding my husband, I have dragged him through 17 years of various treatments--all failed. However, he is still alive and kicking after all these years and we are grateful for that. He has lived a mostly normal, unaffected life through it all. He had a laparoscopic prostatectomy done

Crohn's disease and lung cancer
4 weeks after my right upper lobectomy in late August, I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my right lobe main artery. I was prescribed Xarelto and told that it would dissolve in 4-6 weeks. 8 weeks later I had another CT and was diagnosed with another clot in my vein. I went for a second opinion and

Chostocondritis Flare-up
Is there anything that anyone can recommend, I am coming to the end of my Baclofen and Dihydrocodeine, and I am still getting flair ups. Does anyone know of any natural remedies, in terms of pain management, rather than have to rely on medication, because I am aware that overuse, can lead to addiction
