'Symptom Checker' onlne
Last evening and this morning, I thought it would be a good idea to put my symtoms into a 'symptom checker' online. Wrong!!!!! I think this was a bit mistake. My problem (other than shortness of breath) is swollen feet and toes that resemble sausages. After answering the online questions as well

I was having quite a nice day today but it ended with feeling really hacked off.
I took dog out in beautiful sunshine feeling happy and enjoying being entertained by her. She is very amusing. Then I went to visit my mother in care home. One of the carers was talking about her neighbours (on both sides) who are on Jobseekers Allowance. She said they have all told her that

My mum
I apologise in advance as this blog may be a bit all over the place. My mum has been in hospital with exacerbations four times since December after being diagnosed with emphysema two years ago after a bout of pneumonia. For whatever reason she had not seen a consultant in out patients since her

It is what it is and we get on don't we.
Hi all, I had a spirometry last Wednesday followed by a chat with my consultant. She told me that my lungs are operating at 50% capacity but only 25% gas exchange. Put in simple terms I am operating on half a lung. I find it quite amaizing that I can do what I can even if oxygen turbo boosting is needed

Lung carcinoid. After a C.T guided biopsy, I was diagnosed with lung carcinoid, surgery was recommended, but will deplete my breathing?
as it is in the centre of my lung. My Surgeon has decided to wait a few months to see if carcinoid get larger. then it will be surgery. These few months will hopefully give me time to sort out my life for a future!! without half a lung and C.O.P.D I would be glad to hear of any similar experiences.

Aeri-Seal
I pinched this article off Facebook. As a treatment for Emphysema, I think it has a place amongst the others. I wonder if it has relevance for those with Collateral Ventilation, where other treatments are not a good option because of air leakage between the lobes in the lung through damaged tissue.

Hi all healthunlockders, I'm sat at home in the warm feeling well, infact very well, I'm in no pain,I'm breathing without discomfort off oxygen, and yet on Monday I'm going for lung transplant assessment part 2 for a 4 day body MOT checkover.

Group for those on Iressa
Has anyone out there, diagnosed at stage 4 EGFR positive treated with Iressa been given surgery, not in a curative way but as a possible way to extend the effectiveness of the drug? The theory being that if you debulk the tumour there is a possibility that Iressa may be more effective for longer. I know

Weight Loss and Prednisolone (steroids)
Iv'e always put my weight gain down to the steroids I'm taking, (20mg) daily for two years now. It seems as though I was wrong about this. Stupid as it may seem I was simply eating too much. After a lung transplant consultant told me to lose 1 and a half stone so I would have a better chance of surviving

Iressa and continuity in the NHS.
NHS doctors generally do not appear to understand the importance of continuity of contact in treating long term patients. In the first 8 months of my treatment for lung cancer I saw 6 different doctors. After 2 months I was placed on Iressa. At the time this was a fairly new and infrequent (still

Lung cancer
I was diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer today and I am devastated. I know that I need to be strong but all I can think of is dying. I lost both my parents to lung cancer but I never thought it would happen to me, everyone probably thinks that. Any help to get through this would be greatly appreciated
