Can you get life insurance with advanced lung cancer?
My partner who is 42 years old has recently been diagnosed with stage 3/4 lung cancer which has spread to her lymph nodes. We don’t own our house and she doesn’t have life insurance, are there any companies out there who offer life insurance to someone who has an advanced lung cancer. Any information

Feeling a bit Hopeless
I have been on the lung transplant list for 18 months. I had one dry run 4 months ago, but I am wondering if I will ever get the call. Transplants are low, party because of Covid and only 30% of people on the list received a transplant in the year up to March, according to latest statistics. This has

Hi I am new here, and want to join the team!
My name is Corrine, I am 67 married to a wonderful man, we have a daughter and four lovely grandchildren. I was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer on 28th June and still haven’t got over the shock so I hope to find some coping strategies from others who are either further down the road

Suspected lung cancer
Hi guys, I have difficulty breathing for about 10 years now, some days is worse than others. It's very tight and heavy chest at all times, feels like breathing through the straw and like I need to keep getting satisfying deep breath. I don't have cough. I had X-ray, CT scan, normal scan, blood tests,

One Very Successful Year and Counting
It was one year ago today I received my first immunotherapy infusion after being diagnosed with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. My initial scan three months later showed a 75-85% shrinkage in tumors and ten months into treatment I was told there was No Evidence of Disease. That is the state of

theoretical question: lung transplant
Sorry if this question is of the "out there" type. If an asthmatic recipient receives a lung transplant from a non-asthmatic donor, would the recipient asthma be "cured"? I've read about the reciprocal phenomenon -- one gets asthma if the donor was an asthmatic. I am guessing compared living a lung transplant

Eleven years. Who’d have thought it possible.
Today marks the end of year eleven and the first day of year 12. Hard to believe I’ve traveled around the sun 11 times with this cancer. This is a copy and paste of something I wrote last year. I couldn’t say it any better. ———————————————————- Much to my amazement, and that of my family, friends

Orgovyx after surgery?
Husband on orgovyx for 3 months. Finished 28 proton treatments 3 weeks ago. Had lung surgery to remove unrelated cancerous spot. Dr. wants him off orgovyx 2 more weeks. Thoughts? Husband doesn’t want testosterone to rise.

Advice appreciated.
Hi everyone. I was in intensive care for 10 days in Feb after falling suddenly ill, on a ventilator, a month in hospital in total with another month of acute care at home visits. Had horrific hallucinations and a pretty traumatic time. Have quite extensive nerve damage in my torso from lung surgery so

Lung transplant assessment
I am on the lung transplant list. One of the tests to get on the list was the 6 minute walk test. This I could do. However now I wouldn’t be able to, as despite 24 hour oxygen, just walking a few steps and I have to stop as my oxygen levels plummet to between 60 & 70%. After 30 seconds, they recover
