Lung cancer volunteer activities for kids
My husband appreciated this site. Reading everyone’s experiences gave him hope and knowledge, and he was thankful to members on this site who replied to his questions/concerns during his one year battle with Stage IV NSCLC. After losing their dad to NSCLC about 3 weeks ago, my kids (ages 10, 13 and 15

Transforming Lung Cells Critical for Pulmonary Fibrosis.

CT Promising for Sublobar Resection in Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
CT features may help identify which patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer are optimal candidates for sublobar resection, rather than more extensive surgery. This retrospective study included 904 patients (453 men, 451 women; mean age, 62 years) who underwent lobectomy (n=574) or sublobar

Do you want to have a friendly chat with a researcher about your experiences?
[We're still recruiting to this study in case there are any new members or people who still wanted to take part] Were you diagnosed with lung cancer within the last 12 months? Have your say about your experiences in the PEARL study - a research programme led by UCL and funded by Cancer Research UK.

Exercise post lung transplant
Hi all ! I'm 5 years post single lung transplant. I only have one lung as other was completely removed. My question is how I exercise without getting extremely breathless. Over the past 2 years I have gained 3 stone in weight and with me being on steroids and handfuls of other medication I'm finding

Age-related muscle loss and walking abilities predict outcomes after lung cancer surgery.
Lung cancer is a major global cause of mortality, reportedly accounting for 1.7 million deaths each year. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and early-stage NSCLCs can often be surgically resected. Unfortunately, some patients still experience poor outcomes after

Probably the greatest dilemma of my life.
Currently going through double lung transplant assessments due to IPF.One strict no go which strikes you off the list is cancer as , quite rightly, donated healthy lungs should go to those who have a longer chance of survival . Now the dilemma... discovered a great lump in my neck which may or may not

Sculpting radiation beam spares lung cancer patients from severe, disabling complication.
For many patients with localized lung cancer (non-small-cell lung carcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma), high-dose radiation with concurrent chemotherapy is a potential cure. Yet this treatment can cause severe, acute inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis) in about one in five patients, requiring

Harefield Lung Transplant
Hi, I am on the lung transplant list at QE Hospital Birmingham, but surgery there is still suspended and will be until June at the earliest. I am therefore going to be seen at Harefield in the hope I can go on their list. I’ve been on Birmingham’s list since July, but with no transplants since January

Scientists identify protein that could serve as a therapeutic target in lung cancer.
Scientists at VCU Massey Cancer Center have identified a protein that operates in tandem with a specific genetic mutation to spur lung cancer growth and could serve as a therapeutic target to treat the disease. Mutations in the p53 gene are found in more than half of all cancers, but it remains difficult

Keytruda and Guillain Barre Syndrome
After various false starts, it has been confirmed that the Immunotherapy treatment with Keytruda has been the cause of my GBS event in January. I'm off immunotherapy forever now. Just learned today that my lung tumor has grown and is getting close to my airway. Looking at possible radiation treatment

Collapsed lung and reintubated again
So mum got taken out of tracheostomy yesterday and they put her back on today as she has a
collapsed
lung
. Does anyone have experience with this? It’s so heartbreaking as we thought she was finally out of the woods and now she’s back on ventilator.

Lung transplant list
So today I learned my lung transplant journey has come to an end. My body has failed me whilst my mind is still breakdancing. An osteoporotic fracture in my spine is one risk too many for me to receive the gift of new lungs - it was going to be an already high risk operation due to my many complications

Immunotherapy alone extended life for metastatic lung cancer patients with KRAS mutation.
Real-word evidence is suggesting, for the first time, the most beneficial treatment courses that could help extend the lives of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, according to research from the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. In a new study published online
