Cat scan report after one year of lung lobectomy surgery
Greetings and blessings to this wonderful community. My report was slightly indeterminate, which, has me feeling edgy. It states numerous new bilateral tiny subsolid lung nodules might be infection or inflammatory, but neoplama cannot be excluded. Oncologist didn't seem to be worried and recommended

CT scan Saturday...very frightened
Hi...I posted previously about a small lung opacity being picked up by x-ray. I have got my appointment through today for my ct scan...its on Saturday. I'm pleased it's so soon but have no idea what to expect, and am terrified of the outcome. There's part of me thinking this time next week my anxiety

Opdivo vs katruda?
My husband has stage 4 nsc lung cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. He first had proton radiation therapy but mass was behind his heart so they didn't get it all. He had 2 Opdivo last year but got bilateral pneumonia and blood clots in his lung. He survived but had a hard time of it. Pet showed reduction because

Lung transplant register
Well I went to Wythenshawe hospital last week to see a transplant consultant, my next step is my 3 day assessment for all the test on my other organs and then fingers crossed I may be placed on the register. Small Steps but feeling positive.

Anyone had these symptoms
For over a year now I've had something when I lay on back or right side it feels like after a few minutes of laying on back when I take deep breath it's Luke my
lung
has been
collapsed
. And I can feel it getting the air back in it. It's weird.

NSCLC EDFR Migration Stage 4 LC at 37.
Hi guys. I'm Adam, I was diagnosed last April at the age of 37 with Stage 4 Lung Cancer which had spread to my spine. It was caught on an X-ray of my throat completely unrelated to the cancer. As a lifetime non-smoker it was a complete shock (and still is). Turns out it was due to DNA mutation). Ive

PIP payments after a double lung transplant
I wonder if anyone from the UK could answer this questions. If you are receiving PIP payment do you have to inform them before your operation or after? Once you have had your operation will your PIP payment be stopped? All responses would be welcome Kind regards Joe

I have been on steroid tablets and have subsequently developed water retention in chest and ankles. My SATS levels are between 88% & 90% without oxygen. I have had a drain in my chest to drain

SCLC
Hi folks I wondered if any of you guys had had experience with Small cell lung cancer and confusing diagnosis. In terms of limited or extensive. When I asked they said stage 3 but not cureable and although it's limited that it's borderline limited? This is a family member and not myself. Treatment is

Rehab - Out of Network (Insurance - USA)
(Also suffered a
collapsed
lung
and a UTI, but those issues have resolved.) I now have the challenge of finding a rehab facility. My ideal choice is out of my LO's insurance network.
