Step 1 passed, Now its on to step (STILL KEEPING CALM)
First I would like to thank everyone for thier very kind words, thoughts and prayers before my lung transplant assessment (step 1) on Tuesday. It make's such a difference to know there are others out there who care and are thinking of you. After a x-ray, spirometry,bloods,and a record breaking 6 minute

Contact group for Iressa patients
As a stage 4 lung cancer patient being treated with the drug Iressa I'm feeling rather isolated because there are so few of us and we live so far apart. I was diagnosed in November 2010 and have been on Iressa since January the following year. The changes this drug has made to my ability to enjoy

Tomorrow is not just another day!! (Keep Calm)
Tomorrow is lung transplant assessment day and I can honestly say the pressure is building! Its a 40 mile trip with an 8.30 appointment time so thats gonna mean quite an early start but I can't see me oversleeping somehow. In fact any sleep at all may be difficult tonight as there is so much at stake

I thought, therefore I was.
I thought I would surprise the wife. I took all the shelves out of the fridge. Then I captured a Zulu and spanked him a few times to make him sting and all angry before bundling him into the fridge. I then casually shuffled into the living room and asked my wife if she wouldn't mind getting me a lolly

Gathering momentum
During a bout of profound boredom, I decided to investigate the mysterious booming noises and coloured lights coming from my settee. Imagine how pleased I was when I found two quality street stuffed down the back of the cushions. Considering I thought all my chocolate had been taken by some cheeky 1970s

Lung Transplant
After reading through a blog describing how smokers lungs could be used for transplant I became more curious about the transplant procedure, preparation and life impact. This page on preparation appears useful for the curious at least, it may also assist members closer to having such considerations.

Just a quick update
I have just had my latest scan results, much earlier than expected. My November scan showed progression of the main tumour. It had gone from 11cms to collapsed and immeasurable in 8 months, this had remained so for another year. Then November showed it was 2cms x 3mm. We didn't know how long it had taken

I'm on TV! Thanks BBC
After 20 months of endless campaigning to raise awareness for lung Cancer, I have finally got my slot on national TV. I had written to Daybreak, Lorraine, This Morning etc, each several times and each time being told 'it's not something they are thinking of covering at the moment'. I did, however

IDENTIFYING LUNG CANCER BY BREATH TESTING
We previously had some good chat about the lack of an adequate universal lung cancer scanning method. Here are a couple of the many ingenious innovations that researchers are currently pursuing. COLOUR SENSOR US scientists have already devised a prototype colour test which shows up unique
