Potentially a major setback
She said that if the condition is still progressing, and hasn't been cured by the drugs, I will have to have a
lobectomy
(I will lose a third of my right
lung
).

Lung Transplant
Hi, Paul's consultant has said the next step is a lung transplant. Has anyone on here had one or know any one that has had one for PCD? He's not taken the news well at all. Thanks Tasha

Stage 4 lung cancer with brain mets and radiation questions
Starting radiation on Monday and in a study to avoid the hippocampus area for short term memory. My concern is that even though no cancer is show in that region now that there may be microscopic legions already there and by avoiding this area may indeed hurt me in the future. Trying to figure out if

An immunotherapy now approved for first-line treatment
Late yesterday, the FDA approved Keytruda (an immunotherapy) as a first-line treatment for patients with lung cancer whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This means that Keytruda could be used as the first treatment after diagnosis (instead of chemotherapy) in some patients.

Lung cancer cough
Hi, Does anyone have any tips for controlling the lung cancer cough? I find it so awful that when I feel up to seeing my friends the evening is ruined by my hacking cough. I have tried many cough linctus and prescribed oramorph linctus and codeine linctus but all with not great results. Thanks, Lorna

2 Months since partial thyroid lobectomy.
Hello, I just wanted to post my latest blood results and get some feedback. I have a feeling that the labs drawn by my ENT are not accurate. Here is the timeline of my lab results. On 9/2/16 TSH = 0.958 uIU/mL (0.450-4.500) T4 = 8.3 ug/dL (4.5-12.0) FT4 = 1.27 ng/dL (0.82-1.77) FT3 = 3.2 pg/mL

Late yesterday, the FDA announced that atezolizumab (Tecentriq) was approved for treatment of patients with lung cancer who have disease progression during or after chemo or a targeted therapy.
