Lung cancer: Hope for increasing immunotherapy efficacy
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Current treatments employ immunotherapy, often in combination with chemotherapy, but benefits to patients remain slight. In a pre-clinical study, EPFL researchers investigated a method shown to enhance immunotherapy for other cancers. The study

Nanoparticle therapy shows promise at preventing fatal newborn lung disease
The disease is so rare and complex that its acronym is hard to pronounce. But for infants unlucky enough to be born with this lung disease, the outcome is usually fatal. The disease is called alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACDMPV). Research indicates the disease

Shoulder and arm pain
I have stage 4 lung cancer on immunotherapy Pembrolizamab for a year. Last few weeks been getting severe shoulder/arm pain right arm - had vats lobe to my on same side over a year ago, doctors say it is 'probably' muscular and not related to my tumour. Severe pain and I feel unheard and unsupported.

Coping with what could have been
My husband has recently been very ill and had a liver transplant which is working wonderfully. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened if he had not had the transplant. He had sepsis in March and almost died and was going downhill fast just before his transplant. I'm driving myself crazy

Was your treatment altered or delayed by covid-19?
Hello all We are currently receiving interest in and media requests about how the NHS's cancer services have been altered by the pandemic. Most recently we have had an approach from Channel 5 news looking to interview someone who had their surgery delayed. If you would be willing to talk to our team

I offered to go to his flat to get his clothes and he said no (the doctor did say the cancer was effecting his brain). He doesn't belong on a psyche ward and they are trying to sort out accommodation like

3RD COVID VACCINE SHOT TO BE APPROVED WITHIN DAYS
My post on getting a third shot on my own, without approval from the government, has had very wide readership on this site. It should be so, because it is perhaps one of the bigger concerns we all should have right now. Now the good news is that the government here in the US is about to approve a third

Decompensated cirrhosis and kidney failure
Mom (age 72) was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis with refractory ascites and HE. Soon after creatinine jumped to 7 and her kidney failed. Afterwards, she was on CAPD + rosavel, rifagut & weekly albumin. Also salt intake. Survived 28 months and left us due to heart attack and infection. Doctor

THIRD SHOT BEING RECOMMENDED BY CDC FOR IMMUNOCOMPROMISED
As a follow up to my post last week about getting a third shot, news stories caught my eye yesterday that I thought I'd pass on. As a precursor to some who missed my first post, I took it on my own to get a third shot without authorization. Now it appears that the government in the US is likely to
