Adding radiation to chemo or not?
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone could offer some insight or even their own thoughts into my dad’s latest dilemma as I think it’s possibly a rare situation. You all have been so helpful in previous posts, thank you so much! I couldn’t do this alongside my dad without this forum. I can’t find much info

It gets lonely and chemo curls suck!
People don't want to hear that you have lung cancer or about your lung cancer. My biggest beef, though, is still these darn chemo curls. I used to have beautiful hair and the darn cancer pills took my hair and turned it into a mess. I'm still alive and do 2 hours of exercises each and every day. I'm

Double week of horror
Further X-rays both before and after chest drain removal ( which overall has been a much more difficult procedure to tolerate compared to first time I had it done 15 months ago ) showed a partially
collapsed
lung
with air pockets ( hydropneumothorax).

Advice please
Has anyone had a heart and lung transplant and could tell me how your getting on? What is the life expectancy for this sort of transplant? I’ve been told I need one and will be priority. Very scared and was expecting this so soon. I am thinking what if I don’t have the transplant and the doctors are

Your Voices, Part 2: “Scanxiety; it really is true”
Scans can be a scary time for everyone. Being unsure of what your scan results may bring can cause anxiety for those awaiting results, and even for those who have not yet had their scan. Scanxiety is the term given to this anxiety felt by those who are undergoing a lung cancer scan. Over the past few

Chest X-ray showed an area that could possibly be a cancer but I would be unable to with stand surgery

Copd and lung transplant
Last time I I saw my consultant he mentioned having a transplant I sort of froze. I have read about it on as much as I dare. Suppose I'm scared. How long are you in hospital how successful is the op. How long are you in hospital for.

Lungs are a go-go after encouraging lung check-up
On Wednesday I had my first lung function tests since my pneumothorax back in January. Today I went through the results with my new consultant who told me the brilliant news that there had been no change to my lung capacity or transfer based. The consultant also told me that based on Wednesday's results

Interested in being more involved in lung research?
University College London (UCL) has asked me to circulate details of an opportunity with their centre as they design and develop research at their cancer trials centre. They are looking to set up a group of 2-3 consumer/patient representatives to be involved in lung trials and have set 2 requirements
