My father in law has low grade prostate cancer
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with being on the lung transplant list and then being diagnosed with cancer, my father in law has just being diagnosed with localised low grade prostate cancer, I was wondering if he will be taking of the list for good or would have to be cancer

Just home after lung wedge resection
After so much anxiety about lung surgery, I was discharged this morning three days from the surgery date. It was not as bad as I'd feared.. the most painful part was the chest tube but the pain was significantly reduced after that was removed. I had the surgery because of a PET positive, speculated 1.5

The Side Effect They Don’t Tell You About: Lung Cancer, Treatment, and Your Love Life
There is a very common family of side effects that can result from lung cancer treatment, indeed from all cancer treatments. It’s something that doctors have on their checklists for assessing patient status, but it’s a rare doctor who asks about how you are doing in this area. It’s also a rare cancer

What do lung cancer patients want from our medical teams?
I recently had the opportunity to talk to a group of medical professionals about lung cancer survivorship issues, and a major focus of my talk was telling them what I think lung cancer patients want from our medical teams. I think that it is an important message to deliver because my medical team looks

Lung transplant!
It's been a while again since my last post. Health update is as follows oxygen while awake, I'm going to try O-fev, pulmonary rehab, and lose weight. I have begun the evaluation process for a lung transplant I think my biggest obstacle will be the weight loss. I've struggled with obesity my entire life

Cyramza/Taxotere
Yesterday was round 2 of Cyramza/Taxotere. All in all, side effects from round one were doable. Worst ones being mouth/tongue sores and major hair loss. Some fatigue but keeping up with life for which I am truly grateful. This is the second line treatment for me after progression on Alimta maintenance
