First Targeted Adjuvant Therapy for EGFR Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (stage IB-IIIA)

My dad
Sad to have to say my dad passed away on the 19th December. A short 12 weeks after being diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. The cancer was too advanced for him to receive any treatment that would have been of any real benefit, and he died at home peacefully, thanks to the wonderful support we received

Post lung surgery
🎅 Back in Feb I had R
lung
surgery due to my Rheumatoid Arthritis. 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!

Finding a Personalized Approach To Treating Chronic Rejection After Lung Transplantation.
Two new papers examine the processes of lung scarring and chronic rejection of the organ after transplantation, and potential therapies to stop the graft, or transplanted organ and its tissue, from failing. “Chronic graft failure due to progressive scarring is the number one worry of all transplant

Restaging from IIB to IV
I’ve heard a couple of different theories so wondered - I was staged IIB (T1c pN1 M0) (curable) at the time of my URL surgery (2/2020), had adjuvant chemo and then a brain MRI and CT scan showed no evidence of disease upon completion of chemo (6/2020). Six months later (12/2020), my brain MRI shows

Stage 2B lung cancer, new brain lesion
I had a URL on 2/20/2020, then chemo 3/13/2020 - 6/3/2020. My test results on 6/20/2020 showed no evidence of disease (NED) and I was staged at 2B. I had a CT scan and PET scan 12/1/2020 and a very small lesion was found on my brain. From neck down, I am still NED. I went from stage 2B to stage

Hoarse
My husband is receiving weekly chemo of taxol and carboplatin and daily (Monday - Friday) radiation. He is hoarse. What can be done to help with the hoarseness?

Would you like to have a friendly chat with a UCL researcher about your experiences of being diagnosed with lung cancer?
[I'm re-posting for any recent members. Thank you again to all those who have already responded and taken 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

Unexpected finding reveals new target for aggressive form of lung cancer.
An MSK team has found that a particular subset of lung adenocarcinomas is aggressive due to a combination of two mutations that allow them to block ferroptosis, a type of cell death. Targeted therapies are currently available for about one-third of people with lung adenocarcinoma, the most common

Lung transplantation for patients with severe COVID-19
Case studies and autopsy results are confirming that, in some cases, COVID-19 can cause such severe lung damage that patients require a lung transplant to survive. In a new study, researchers in Chicago analyzed discarded tissue from COVID-19 patients who had lung transplants and from patients who died

New cancer-fighting method leverages the mechanical force of T cells.
Immunotherapy is a promising weapon in the fight against cancer. It has proven to be much more effective than chemotherapy and radiotherapy in treatment of some cancers. The drawback is that it manages to cure only about 20% of patients; the remaining 80% do not respond to this kind of treatment. “But

I have Pleurisy and feel dizzy all of the time
They sent me for a CT scan and this was inconclusive as there was still liquid around my left
lung
and the
lung
had partially
collapsed
. They took samples of the fluid and blood and concluded that it was not heart, liver or kidney failure so the consultant suspected cancer.

Matrix trial
I have been treated for lung cancer for five years. Initially with chemotherapy then radiotherapy. Followed by two years of immunotherapy. Remission in between each treatment. Now lung is clear but spread to lymph nodes at base of neck. Referred to Beatson in Glasgow who are forwarding

New member trying to get their head round things !
I’ve just found out I’m on the lung transplant list. Feeling a little overwhelmed by it all and would love to find out more from others in similar circumstances any coping mechanisms.

Lung Transplant
Lung Transplant. Good Afternoon everyone. I have currently been on the lung transplant list over 2 1/2 year and I attend Wythenshawe Hospital on a regular basis for updating bloods scans and x-rays. I am constantly told to keep as fit as I can which is difficult at times as I need a double lung transplant

Atezolizumab
I have Adenocarcinoma stage 4, following half left lung removal in March . CT in August showed spread to right lung. I've been through 4 cycles of pem/carb chemo but recent ct showed continued spread in the right lung. Surgery is no longer an option as too widespread. I have no gene or Ros markers

Stable CT scan. Five years+ living with Stage IV NSCLC
This is an excerpt from a caring bridge post I made yesterday. I also included a whole bunch of language stuff about covid-19and the need for each of us to do our part to protect one another, but I’ll leave that there. I am grateful that I just received happy CT scan results

Study identifies patients with lung cancer most likely to respond to immunotherapy.
Scientists are beginning to unravel one of the biggest challenges with immunotherapy: why some people with cancer respond to the treatment, while others may not respond at all. In a new study, researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found patients with a particular type of human
