Hardening of the Lungs?
Over the past 30 years I've survived pneumonia (3) different times, bronchiectasis,
collapsed
lung
, pseudomonas and aspergillosis. The hardening of the lungs sounds like it's not something I can recover from and wondering if anyone else has this diagnosis too??

End-Stage doesn’t mean it’s the end.
They sometimes refer to Stage lV as End-stage emphysema but don’t think it means you will die soon. I’ve been stage IV (FEV1 <30%) for 10 years now, following pulmonologist’s strict orders...stop smoking, exercise, and take meds. Yes, I go on waiting list in September for a lung transplant (single

Hospital again aggghhh
Went to see my Surgeon-Consultant last week, CT scan not good (attached). After my lung operation in October 2018, most recent CT scan shows a large nodule and a few scattered in the lung. I'm in on the 18th Feb, they will go into the lung and have a look, best outcome is biopsies then treatment, second

, it was actually partially
collapsed

Faulty immune system may lead to lung cancer.
An immune system that's not functioning normally may lead to lung cancer in patients who don't smoke, a new study suggests. "A strong immune system helps to keep inflammation under control and chronic inflammation is known to promote cancer," said co-author Rayjean Hung. "Our research suggests that

wsInhibition of p38 reduces the growth of lung tumours.
In 2018, 1.7 million people died from lung cancer worldwide, a number equivalent to the population of Barcelona.

Immunotherapy
I just wonder if there’s anyone diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer, has tried the immunotherapy. Does it really help? Is it worth to try it? Thank you.

Husband on the transplant list
My husband is on the lung transplant list here in the UK which is wonderful. We know it could be a long wait and we are ok with that but I am struggling to keep going with “normal” life. I would like to 100% focus on my husband and family but need to work until the call comes to afford the time off to
