Lung cancer
My husband has suffered with Copd for over 8 years this last 12 months have been the worst for him. He was on steroids non stop till about the end of August last year and now has been diagnosed with lung cancer. They won't operate as they say he only has a one in three chance of survival. Now he is

How can I get him to eat post lobectomy?
Today they finally gave him his normal meds but he is still nauseous and I've just heard that he may need to go back to theatre as the drain isn't working on his

! I'm so worried that he isn't getting enough nourishment and will suffer from malnutrition.

Lung Surgery
Hi, Was diagnosed after a biopsy with adenocarcinoma in my left lung. I am having the surgery on the 4th of next month. They are planning to remove the left lobe. I work in Law Enforcement and was wondering if the reduced lung capacity would effect my ability to work the same. Any thoughts. Thanks

Post Lung Surgery
In 2010 I had a bi-Lobectomy lung operation. Initially I had limited physiothrapy but apart from seeing the consultant every few months any form of rehabilitation was only available by application. I gave up and bought a indoor exercise bike, brilliant but lost motivation. Next walking the dog, still

9 years since they first found the M2 antibodies, 16 years since my alk phos started being elevated. My story.
In my time there I had a
collapsed
lung
, a PICC tube placed to treat the blood infection and once that cleared to feed me TPN (nutrition cocktail via central IV). I wound up having more drains placed and a chest tube. It was a very rough run.

Finally, a whole day & night without pain meds
My
lung
collapsed
several times during & after surgery which required chest tubes to go in & out many times. Nerve pain is so awful that it would take my breath. After three years of suffering I had surgery at the Neurolical center at John Hopkins University hospital in Maryland, US.

Tracheobroncomalacia
Hi after several studies to see if I am a candidate for a long transplant, de doctor said that I have a test tracheobroncomalacia. They referral me from doing the lung transplant there because they said that they have no experience. This happens at the SaintJoseph Hospital in Arizona. They suggest it

Lung Surgery is on Hold
After visiting my consultant ideas told that I needed major lung surgery as my right lung is in a really bad state. This was going to be a problem as I was told years ago by the army physician that I am allergic to general anesthetic. On seeing the Surgeon I explained to him about this and I was told

Lung transplant having a celebratory drink.
Good morning everyone, I am currently trying to get on the lung transplant list in the UK. I occasionally at party’s and Birthday celebrations toast a glass or two to the person celebrating. My question is if I am successful in getting on the list and having the surgery is the rule that you don’t drink

Opdivo..What do You Know
Help. Doctor has changed mind again. He is now checking my insurance to see if it will approve me trying Opdivo. I have read about the side affects and am worried. Has anyone tried this immunotherapy drug? I read an article recently that Keytruda was doing better for certain people but it appears
