VATS
Hi Lovely Ladies I’ve posted a couple of times in the last few months regarding my probable recurrence. It’s been a year since a CT scan picked up 3 enlarged lymph nodes in my diaphragm and chest areas. At Xmas a second PET scan showed an increase in velocity to medium high and my oncologist discussed

HQC WHAT IS IT LIKE?
Started taking
cats

and other herbals. Anyway got it all under control, was great for about 3 and a half years. Then a few months ago, woke up one morning couldn’t get out of bed with the pain. This has continued, tried all what I did last time to no avail.

Surgery this week
I met my consultant this week and he has booked me in for a VATS lobectomy on Thursday. Shocked at the speed this has all happened but extremely grateful. Naturally feeling anxious and worried about pain post surgery. Can anybody give me the benefit of their similar experience. It helps so much speaking

Cats claw
Has anyone got any experience of

supplement? I believe it’s recommended for arthritis type conditions? I have had ongoing issues with my knee becoming painful and swollen and thought I might give it a try instead of increasing my steroid dose.

thoracoscopic lung biopsy (VATS)
Anyone out there have experience with VATs? Just curious how the procedure went and how recovery went. I have read that it's pretty safe and minimally invasive, but I'd love to hear your experience. How long it took, how long was your recovery, did you have any issues afterwards, etc.

co-codamol and Apixaban, can they be taken together ok.
I'm having a lot of back pain at the moment and paracetamol isn't working. Anyone got any thoughts on the best pain killer. I tried Devils Claw and got virtually every possible side effect on the list. Plus I had AF every day I took it. All the best. Roy

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.

Cats claw ( Gou Teng)
I have recently been reading about
cats

(Chinese herb Gou Teng) as useful for PWP. Does anyone have experience with this herb, or with the Chinese herbal concoction called Tienma Gouteng Yin?

Advice Pls! VATS vs. Open Thoracotomy (7cm 77 y.o.)? SoC vs. Clinical Trial?
My 77 y.o. father has been recently diagnosed with stage IIb (T3N0M0) with no visible mets to LN or brain. However, the tumor is large, nearly 7 cm. (We will hopefully receive tumor marker info by Monday but Drs. suspect he's EGFR+ given that he's a non-smoker, Asian and the "look" of the tumor w/CT.

Standard of Care surgery for 7cm tumor??
My father has a 7 cm LLL tumor and, currently, there are no visible mets to lymph nodes or brain. We are curious if an open surgery would be standard of care? Or something less invasive like the VATS approach or robotically? We are considering a second opinion. Would be grateful for your feedback
