Lightning strikes twice!!
In July 2012 my dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma he died 6 weeks later. On Wednesday my mum was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and is currently in hospital for a mediastinoscopy as they suspect the clear biopsy result of her lymphnodes was inaccurate. Over the last 8 years my sister

Can lung cancer be diagnosed by a CT scan?
Hi everyone, About four weeks ago, my partner started coughing up blood..went to A and E, diagnosed with pneumonia and given antibiotics. This week he coughed up blood again. GP told him it wasn't pneumonia ( no indication in bloods) and he shouldn't have been diagnosed with that. He was sent straight

A newly discovered disease may lead to better treatment of cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis is the most frequent severe inherited disorder worldwide. Every year, hundreds of families are confronted with this diagnosis – and to date, there is no cure for this disease that mainly affects the respiratory system. Besides supportive treatments, a lung transplant is often the only

Unique Cells Found in Lung Cancer Patients may Predict Survival.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive five years. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type where tumor cells shed from the main tumor circulate in the blood and settle in other organs and metastasize

Why I’m participating in the next cancer voices summit
Were you aware that the original 2020 Federal Budget cut out funding for lung cancer search? A concerted effort by patients, families, clinicians, advocates and lung cancer foundations got lung cancer specific funding restored. That’s important because lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer

Alimta
Due to one pesky tumor increasing in size from scan to scan, my oncologist is recommending stopping Keytruda (the only treatment I've had since being diagnosed January 2019) and beginning Alimta. Does anyone have any feedback/suggestions for using Alimta? The word chemo really scares me, but it's

Depression and physical pain
I’m new. Have been in lockdown since November! Recovering from extensive lung surgery then some sort of virus. Curious about current problem of feeling like someone has just punched me in solar plexus. Sure has cut down on my eating. All I can do is lie down when it hits. Is it part of healing or a nervous

Help me win £1,000 for the BLF
It's been a while since I was last on here - a good six months at least. A lot's happened in that time both personally and in the world. Back in February I suffered another pneumothorax - my fourth in three years and worst to date. I was off work for 5 weeks in total and for a long time it looked like
