exon 19 deletion mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor
Hi all, This is my first post on this forum, please be gentle with me! Is anyone familiar with this genetic mutation which is sometimes seen in non-small cell lung cancers? The last 4 months have been a roller-coaster ride for me ever since a tumour with satellite nodules were spotted in the lower lobe

Cardio Bypass issue
I am a 74 yr old male who has been informed a month ago that I need a triple bypass. Two years ago I had a lobectomy after a bout of Lung Cancer. The cancer is in remission but I don't know that the fatigue is from lung issue or heart issue. I have no cardio symptoms such as pain or discomfort other

Skin care
I have had my stoma for 5 weeks now and it's settled down nicely. I'm changing my colostomy bag twice a day and am finding that the skin on my tummy where the adhesive flanges stick is becoming sore and red with some signs of a rash starting. Applying cream seems to affect the 'stickiness' of the bag

Newby with dietary questions
Hi, my colostomy and stoma is now 3 weeks old following an emergency procedure. Everything's fine so far and my diet is returning to normal. Having said that I find a lot of the advice online contradictory. I understand the no sweetcorn, nuts, peas rules ok but I love salads and really want to reintroduce

Good evening all. Since my lobectomy in March and followed by chemo for 6cm adenocarcinoma I'm due for a scan in three months, six months then after my last one. I have started to bounce back now since the chemo which finished in July. The main lingering setback was mental fatigue and stress due to

first oncologist Appt 5 months after lobectomy
Hi all, Hope you are all well. My mom had to have her oncologist appointment rescheduled after 5 MONTHS post op. The oncologist refused to see her because of medical insurance. And now I am afraid we are too late since 5 months have passed since surgery. Background: My mom (43 and dyalisis patient)

Gleeson 9 (5+4), about to get PSA result around 1 year after surgery
Had a subtotal
colectomy
for bowel cancer in 2017. T1. seems clear apart from radiologists reporting 'striations' in fat in the abdominal wall. Had a prostatectomy in mid-2018.

Remission! Then what?
In 2009, I had a upper right lobe lobectomy. Simple, stayed the Lahey Clinic for about a week. The nursing staff was great, my wish was their command. I could not have asked for better. The first 5 years were simply a piece of cake. No meds, continued physical activity with no changes. I was cancer free
