EXCESSIVE DYNAMIC AIRWAY COLLAPSE
Hi everybody! I had a bronchoscopy last December, to be told that I had EDAC (excessive dynamic airway collapse). I have had no follow up meetings with the Thoracic doctor, as he said there was nothing to do. I was just told to keep my weight down, and look it up on the internet. I would appreciate any

Stage 4 lung cancer
Hi. Mum has just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Just waiting to see if it’s treatable (only possible option is to try and shrink it but not looking good). She started having a cough in August and after still having it at the end of September went and got it checked out. Can’t believe how quickly

Hello BLF friends, I must do a 24-hour urine test which will confirm or not the abnormal blood cells 🤞🤞🤞 I will do that when I come back from Mum’s as I am leaving on Friday for her 90th birthday and staying for a week. 🎂🍾🎂🍾 Should it confirm a myeloma he will refer me to a haematologist. I must

Is it more in the DNA than we think?
This is a question for the experts but even they need some data to go on so here is my point: Reading the forum highlights a wide variation in starting point for COPD. There are some who have been diagnosed in their 40s (even 30s!) and others not until, like me they are in their 60s. It is also the case

Just so sad
My dad has stage 4 lung cancer. His first line treatment did nothing and was stopped as his kidneys were damaged by it. We have been on a year wait and watch. Well today it’s grown by 10%. He’s been offered another treatment but he has opted to go on an immunotherapy clinical trial. I hate this disease

EGFR Exon 20 mutation NSCLC PATIENTS
Calling all lung cancer patients with an EGFR or HER2 Exon 20 mutation. I have recently enrolled on a clinical trial in the United States which has had some very promising results. There are very few options for those who have this mutation other than chemotherapy. (The majority of EGFR positive patients

Lung Cancer is a National Epidemic. The president recently declared opiate related deaths an epidemic that has reached National Emergency Status. 91 people die from it everyday. Why then isn't lung cancer a National Emergency? 433 people die every day from lung cancer. 433 people died from lung cancer

Slippery elm
I have had a single lung transplant one year ago and about two months ago got a chest infection for which since then I've been on carbasistine to clear my mucous coz it's seems to get stuck! It doesn't seem to be doing very much at all, so on the Internet today I've found a herbal capsule from Holland
