First timer. Anyone taking Mychophenolate
Hello all. Have been getting the benefit reading all the posts from all you lovely fellow sufferers but have been reluctant for no real reason to posts my own. So here goes. Is anyone taking or any experience of Mychophenolate as a steroid sparing medication for GCA. I've been prescribed it as I need

First things first, huge apologies for not getting back to those that left a comment on my last post which was now more than 2 months ago.

Vancouver liquid biopsy NGS for lung cancer?
Hi all, I first signed up to this support group when my Mum was diagnosed NSCLC in 2018, she sadly passed away in 2021 after trying Iressa (~1yr), chemo (~1yr), and Tagrisso (~10m). Unfortunately, my ~70yr old uncle who lives in Vancouver had a CT scan last week that showed a change (from one year

length of time for biopsy results
Hi, had a partial lung lobectomy and lymph node removal, was told biopsy results would be back in 7-10 days. It’s now been 41 days and I’ve heard nothing. When I contact various people I’m just being told this length of timeframe is not uncommon.. this does not sound right to me… Anyone else had to wait

Back into the operating room, today.
In January, I had six lesions removed from my liver, The surgeon went through my
lung
, which
collapsed
and got air in it. It still hurts from where the nurse pulled the drain from my chest. That is not the big thing, though. Whilst doing pre-op scans, a metastasis was found in my skull.

So fed up, after CABG worse off.
I had a triple bypass on 16th September followed by internal bleeding, severe AF, a
collapsed
lung
and fluid on the lung. Two days after discharge I was rushed back in to my local hospital with a saddle PE, PEs in both lungs and a clot in my heart.

Immunotherapy
Having had a lobectomy a few years ago on right lung, I now have 2 opacities on lower left lung. As there had only been one lesion seen on lower left lung I was offered radiotherapy. After last scan which showed another lesion adjacent to the first, I am told that 'radiotherapy is off the table'. At

An update on my father’s immunotherapy for his lung cancer.
Hello , an update on my father’s immunotherapy for lung cancer. Would really appreciate any thoughts , insight or experiences. Especially, but no only, those which can give my father some further hope. My father was disagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer around 10 months ago. He started on chemo but

Lung Surgery Cancelled Twice
After an incidental find of a 19mm lung nodule and a clear PET scan in late October my respiratory consultant was sure it was a slow growing cancer caught early and recommended, which was agreed by me, that rather than a biopsy I go straight to surgery for a lung wedge resection to remove the nodule

Would you be interested in new support if you have a mutation driven lung cancer, or have surgery as a treatment?
Hello all, On 16th February we will be starting an eight week programme of hour long on line support sessions for people with genetic mutation driven lung cancer. The sessions will be run by our facilitator and share coping ideas, practical tips and experience of treatment. If you would like to participate

Exhausted but happy.
I spent seven hours at the lung transplant clinic at Harefield yesterday. I was weighed and measured many times, sometimes with boots (dockers!) on sometimes off, ECG, echocardiogram, chest xray, blood tests, blood pressure test, lung function test, urine test, and finally mrsa test! Everone

Hello there - any advice about Chemo (Carboplatin and Pemetrexed) and Immunotherapy (Pembrolizomab)?
Hi, so I was diagnosed just before Christmas (Is cancer the Christmas Grinch? 🤔 It was in my case....) Anyway, having been diagnosed with NSCL cancer I've now been put on a treatment plan, and start on Monday next week. Has anyone got any top tips for getting through the next few months? It all sounds

No offer of treatment.
My dear friend and colleague was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in December. She has had a biopsy and been told there is no treatment available for her. She is just being given pain relief. She did not want to know how long she might have left. She sleeps most of the day and can't walk from the

Feel like I am waiting for the next tragedy
My
lung
collapsed
twice. I am home again after
lung
surgery and surgery on some of my broken ribs. Now I am worried the incisions aren’t healing. I am trying to stay positive but the anxiety wins. It has been 2 months and I can’t relax or stop worrying.
