Lung cancer

I was diagnosed a lung adenocarcinoma, a RET positive fusion mutation in Januarya2024.Am told its a rare cancer. I would like to chat with anyone else here who may have this type of cancer and is being treated with Selpercatinib pills.

I have been diagnosed with Squamous cell lung cancer, I met with the respiratory doctor, who is booking me in for a pneumonectomy, has anyone had this procedure and can offer any advise

He eventually came home after 13 days, stayed with me for 4 days and then ended up back in hospital because of breathlessness and they found he had a blood clot in his lung, another infection and now mucus. It definitely is lung cancer but it's already spreading so stage 4.

we look forward to seeing you, Lorraine @ Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

Our goals are to learn more about: -Inherited or genetic risk for developing lung cancer in certain people or families -Changes in lung cancer tumors in people with increased genetic risk -Ways to better predict lung cancer risk for certain groups of people Who can join the INHERIT Study?

I have stage 3 lung cancer, I have no symptoms and have no issues. I have 100% lung capacity. I have had 3 infusions of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The tumour has shrunk 60/70% I have a choice. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy for 30 days. Removal of left lung. Both have risks.

Just curious - have had cancer 6 times now, breast cancer x 3; bowel; lung; 5 times all operated on & fine, now this 6th time caused by the radiotherapy I had 25 years ago for my breast cancer caused my squamous lung cancer, not operable + of course no radiotherapy as I've had the max - was only discovered

Have you had surgery or radiotherapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer within the past year? Did you have you cancer treatment in England? Are you available to take part in a 1-hour interview online, by phone or in person?

Early this year, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it felt like the ground had been pulled out from under us. We were terrified and overwhelmed, unsure of what lay ahead.

Join us for a conversation on how new targeted therapies and a greater understanding of tumor biology have advanced treatments for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). First-generation targeted therapy drugs outperformed traditional chemotherapy, but new mutations led to resistance.

Ideally we wanted to speak with a lung cancer patient who had some complications following a physical biopsy but also speaking in general with someone affected by lung cancer would be ok. We would do this interview sometime on Monday if possible."

gone from prostrate cancer stage 4 , to lung cancer w unknown source, to 2 separate cancers which at this time can be cured. The lung cancer source is in right hilar under neath the cancerous lymph node. The tumor source is also attached to the sub-carina lymph node in middle of chest.
