Am I being silly?
My husband was diagnosed as terminal in Dec and was supposed to get chemo in Jan. The pleural effusion was not malignant when results came back so then stage 2-3. He had brochoscopy, Pet scan, another bronchoscopy and was referred to Papworth where he was told removal of lung was a curative option.

My Mum - the saddest day
Hi all, I am typing this as I sit by my Mum's side in hospital. Dad was advised to call my brothers & I in yesterday morning in the early hours & we have all been here since. Mum is very peaceful due to medication & we have had time to tell her all we want to, I've had some lovely chats (all one-sided

Chemotherapy after Surgery
Two weeks ago my husband had a right upper lobectomy and lymph node sampling. He was discharged last week but to our suprise was given an appointment to attend the hospital on Monday only 13 days after the operation. It transpired that they were concerned that my husbands lung had not inflated fully

Breathlessness: What happened next............
Hi all, Thought maybe you might like to know what happened yesterday at the hospital, after developing breathlessness last week. Fortunately I had an appointment pre booked with the synovitis nurse (which I assume is the same as rheumy nurse).Can you believe it, the very day I'm feeling so out of breath

Too scared to ask for pain relief
I was diagnosed with Fibro last week after many months of pain and fatigue. My doctor said there is nothing they can really do and did not offer me any pain relief. He has arranged for an ECG and chest x ray as I have allot of chest pain at the moment (he wants to rule out heart problems for my peace

Really worried about my breathing / asthma - anyone with these symptoms?
Hey guys, Great forum, been looking for something like this. Basically here is my story: I'm 32. Had asthma all my life, but very rarely gave me trouble - only if playing sport etc would I get a bit wheezy. Smoked on / off for 10 years. Averaged maybe 5 a day if that, sometimes months without one

Constant productive cough and voice problems
I'm new to this site and am looking for some information from people more used, if that'sthe right word, to asthma. I'm 64 and had asthma as a child, which resolved in my teens. I've always been a bit 'allergic' - nettle rash etc and I have perennial rhinitis. I think I picked up a viral infection in

Asthma
Hi, I seem to have developed asthma in the last month or so. I thought I had a chest infection or something. My GP measured my breath strength with a peak flow meter and I was pathetic. I was sent for a chest X ray and given Becotide and Ventolin inhalers. Is there any connection with RA or MTX or

Hi...thanks for taking the time to ready this. I have 2 children, my son is 5 & my daughter is 4.

However my daughter Ebonie seems

Professor Hughes' blog October 2011
- October 2011 A lovely autumn – still dry in the South East. It’s hard to believe that the London Lupus Centre has been going for five years! We estimate that we have now seen lupus and Hughes syndrome patients from 72 countries! Working here at London Bridge Hospital is a treat – overlooking

Two years old and tenth visit to hospital
Have looked at this for first time tonight as I lay in my sons hospital bed with him and so pleased to finally realise we are not alone. My son has now had ten overnight hospital stays. Tonight is our second night of this episode. He just needs to have a slight cold for me to panic because I know now

Toddler who possibly has asthma - advice and help desperately needed.
My son is 20 months old. I was home on maternity leave with him until his 1st birthday. During that time he was only ill once with bronchitis when he was 5 months old. It was treated with antibiotics and he was fine after that. He started nursery a week before his 1st birthday and since then he has

Persistent flutter in throat and breathlessness
Hi everyone I had asthma as a child and grew out of it by my teens. Didn't seem to have any trouble with it but just lately I've developed this flutter in my throat which makes me cough. Sometimes it feels like a rush of air like I've been winded. Sometimes it feels like theres fluff stuck in my throat

Help - I am struggling with this thing called 'Asthma'
Last year November ('09), I had the flu jab at work. A week later I had the flu which lasted about 7 weeks after 3 courses of antibiotics. January '10 I returned back to the gym, but was always out of breath with this funny crackling sound on my chest. I went back to the Dr in February '10. He diagnosed

Pneumonia??
So I went back to my GP despite her trying to send me on a Costa del NHS holiday. She now reckons I've got pneumonia, but I'm really not so sure - 1. I'd have thought I wouldn't have been walking to the GP if I did and 2. I've have the pneumonia vaccination so it couldn't be could it? Is she just trying
