Road Rage!
A piece of road walks into a bar and declares to all its occupants: "I'm the hardest bit of bitumen in the whole of this town!" The piano player stops and the bar goes deadly silent. After a brief pause, all eyes drop, the pianist returns to playing and the piece of road pulls up a bar stool

No 10k for me in 2020, but Spring is Coming!
I've always been the sickly one of the family with asthma and a previously
collapsed
lung
. So I'm sharing my gratitude with all you VRBs for helping me get this far, and for all the support everyone has given each other throughout this tough year. It's been invaluable.

Missing protein helps small cell lung cancer evade immune defences.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells are missing a surface protein that triggers an immune response, allowing them to hide from one of the body’s key cancer defenses, a new study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The findings, reported online today in Cancer Research, a journal of the American

New combination of immunotherapies shows great promise for treating lung cancer.
McMaster researchers have established in lab settings that a novel combination of two forms of immunotherapy can be highly effective for treating lung cancer, which causes more deaths than any other form of cancer. The new treatment, yet to be tested on patients, uses one form of therapy to kill a significant

Here we go again!
Had 2 thirds of my right lung removed in June (followed by Chemo & Radiotherapy). Latest scan shows that the cancer is back along the "Cut" where the left the top part of my lung. Can't believe its back after only 6 months (and with all the chemo & Radiotherapy). They are saying its inoperable and

Has anyone received the Covid-19 Vaccine while taking Immunotherapy?
Fellow cancer patients, I have been very concerned about how my immunotherapy (Opdivo/nivolumab) might affect my body’s response to the Covid-19 vaccine. During my past year on this treatment, my immune system has “overresponded” on several occasions as can be a side-effect of the treatment. Although

Post lung surgery
🎅 Back in Feb I had R
lung
surgery due to my RA, I'd had 4
collapsed
lungs in short space of time due to air pockets that kept bursting! I had the pockets removed and stapled and then lungs stuck to my chest cavity with own blood, very sore indeed!

4 different diagnosis with chest pain
Which I thought that is what I should have but the doctor said no It is the sign of a
collapsed
lung
. That afternoon another specialist came and told me that All Asthmatics have this problem and it was costochondritis, and the only pain relief was Ibuprofen which I cant take because of Asthma.

Anybody suffer with intercostal myalgia/weakness?
I only ask because I have a severe breathing issue that is yet to be satisfactorily diagnosed. I've been told I just have a 'breathing dysfunction' but that suggests over (or under) breathing. Which I'm clearly not. But it's gradually getting worse and has been for almost 3 years. I also suffer with

Stage 4 central mediastinal mass
After a lobectomy 3 years ago, I now have a stage 4 central mediastinal mass. No reoccurrence in the lung or spread to other organs. I have been told that only palliative treatment is possible and offered (covid permitting) chemotherapy with immunotherapy. Has anyone experience of this cancer?

Lung lobectomy - waiting for lymph node biopsy and feeling anxious
Hi! My mum was found with a ground glass nodule about a year ago and after many scans went in for a VATS wedge section to remove the nodule in November. The nodule was caused by her rheumatoid arthritis but the surgeon noticed some “ dots” around it and “ specks” on her lung so sent it for a biopsy.
