Immunotherapy do’s and dont’s
After last year’s immunotherapy debacle, my mom tried again yesterday and thankfully tolerated it much better. My question now is; what are your do’s and fonts while on immunotherapy? No side effects so far but she’s eating wisely. Can we go to a movie theatre? Her guide says to stay out of crowded places

Immunotherapy Stage IV
Hi everyone. My sister was diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer last month. She never smoked, so the likely culprit was radon (we grew up in a high risk area in the 70's and 80's and I didn't know what radon was until the diagnosis). She qualified for a immunotherapy clinical trial and received her first

Suspected lung cancer
Can we rely on what our doctors tell us. After 5 days in hospital I went to see my doctor. She said I had a small module on my long. She was referring me to lung doctor but the appointment would be a long tine. 2 days later the hospital rang me to book me in for ct scan in 2later. I looked on my doctors

Bronchoscopy with BAL
Hi there, I'm currently under the Royal Brompton Hospital for undiagnosed breathlessness and complex cough. I've had CT scans, CPET testing, and blood tests galore, but on Thursday I will have my first ever bronchoscopy with BAL and possible biopsy...and I am terrified. I really hated having the tube

Alagille Syndrome/TOF with Pulmonary Atresia
One week later his left
lung
collapsed
after closing his chest. CT scan showed no physical airway obstruction while the bronchoscopy showed his left airway closed. Both of his kidneys stopped working. He’s still on ECMO and now on dialysis.

Lung Biopsy
So my mums biopsy went well. She is currently resting before she has an X-ray to ensure all is ok before coming home. The nurse bringing her back up said that we should hear from the consultants within the week (as when these things are caught like this they deal with them quickly 😬?) it could be a

Since I'm up anyway
With this stupid sciatica keeping me up all hours, I thought I'd mention something that might be of interest and even more to fellow COPD sufferers, and especially for those who might be seeking lung transplants. I have a neighbor who had a transplant not long ago. Maybe two years? I'm not really sure

Silent Reflux after lung surgery?
Has anyone heard that about 48% of people having lung cancer surgery often have silent reflux afterwards? Almost 9 weeks after my lobectomy I have noisy breathing in my oesophagus, a chronic cough, hoarseness in varying degrees, and post nasal drip particularly at night, and I burp quite often. All

Yellow soft paraffin - update
Thank you everyone for your comments about the paraffin cream. I queried their usage of it and one of the nurses followed through, checked with pharmacy, and now Southampton General will NOT be using yellow paraffin for patients on oxygen! Thanks again everyone, without your support I might not have

Nodules found on the diaphragm, more info please.
Just 12 months ago my husband had lung surgery to remove three fifths of his upper left lobe, followed by 12wks of chemo and is now on a double blinded trial drug. Because he is on a trial he gets extra scans and checks (thank goodness) and some spots have now shown as active on his lower left lobe.
