Oh to be in Spain now the COPD is here....
A
collapsed
lung
sent him into hospital for four days while they drained and stabilised him. He has COPD, similar to mine own, and suffered a pulmonary embolism a year or so back. I felt slightly better by comparison of course but brothers can be like that.

Finding Support as a Lung Cancer Patient: Reaching Out
There may come a time when you realize you need more support than family and friends can give you. Once you decide you want to reach out for more support, I suggest first looking at your preferred communication style. I am a pretty lousy email correspondent, for example. What I really like is talking

Unusual Journey?
Hi, A few posts have spurred me on to write this. I am a 51 year old guy who enjoyed good health and a good life up until 2 1/2 years ago. I started to feel very tired and thought that age was beginning to tell. After a few months I had a medical at work and it was noted that I had lost weight. I

Back to work or Disability?
Looking for some advice on whether I should go back to a very stressful job to keep my healthcare or if I should go on disability and Medicare. I have Stage 4 lung cancer with EGFR mutation that has spread to my brain. Currently it is manageable with the meds (Tarceva) but they give me many side effects

Any success stories on lung cancer treatments?
Hi all My husband's oncologist has now given the go ahead for Chemotherapy. They said the mutation results are not ready and he wants to get started on a treatment. The feeling is; lost, confused and helpless. Not knowing whether it will work or not. My question to you all is; Has anybody with

Would a lung cancer cough get better?
Hi, I've had a cough for roughly 5 months, i smokes and I'm 51. Ive had a chest x ray which was clear, and now had a CT scan last Friday, we have an appointment with a lung specialist tomorrow. Unsure if the results of the CT will be ready as the appointment was made the same day as the CT. My question

I'm new
Hello everyone. I just signed up and this is my first post. I was diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer in May. However, because of the location of the mass and the recommendation made by my doctor, I elected to have my upper right lobe removed in August. I'm back to work but, I'm still recovering (physically

Liquid Biopsies Are Important in Lung Cancer, Expert Says
Liquid biopsies may be a quick and less intrusive way of detecting non-small cell lung cancer. Medical professionals are now able to extract the same information that they usually get from tissue biopsies at a lesser cost, and with less pain to the patient. Sometimes, there isn't even enough tissue for

Immunotherapy
Hi I'm new here. My husband has just been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and waiting to have the treatment. It will either be Chemotherapy or Immunotherapy but can't have the immunotherapy until they get a test back to see if he can have it. So my question is: Why can't all lung cancer sufferers

New here....my story so far
In July, I had a
collapsed
lung
, which led to lung surgery, which led to a diagnosis of a rare lung disease. My goal is to be able to run 5k within a respectable time so I started the Couch to 5k in October and I am absolutely loving it.

An article on food in STAT
Gosh, I write an article on food and lung cancer, and it seems like there are all kinds of other articles on the subject popping up. Here is a long and interesting article about two chefs attempting to create food that cancer survivors with damaged taste buds can taste. https://www.statnews.com/2016/

What to expect?
Hi all, My mum has had a cough for 4-5 months, sometimes productive, sometimes not. Normally the colour is white, but it is occasionally green. She had a chest x-ray and this has come back clear, she also had spirometerty test, which come back ok, not amazing. She got 66% and the 'OK' is 70% apparently

Tuesday
Hi all, I feel like things are close to normal again, yesterday and today I made it pretty much all day at work. I spent all day Sunday freaked out over coughing up blood and a small piece of tissue. Finally I got a call back from my oncologist on Monday and he seemed a lot less concerned about it

Radiation therapy
My dad went in for his consultation today for radiation therapy to his chest and a lower dosage to his brain for preventative measures. I wasn't able to go to the appt because we live in different states and I had to work today. So many questions I have about radiation. My dad told me he needs to have
