" Massive " Hiatal Hernia .
The Consultant said that they won't operate because it's too big and as I have had a
Lobectomy
due to
lung
cancer there would be problems with the Anaesthetic and I might not come through. The operation would probably take 4 hour's or more because it's such a " massive " hernia!

concerning CT scan
This was my follow up scan - my MD (who I love) said that he wasn't concerned and the radiologist noted "
no change since last year's scan but recommended close follow up or biopsy
"! He was upset that he noted no change but then recommended close follow up or biopsy. He told me " You are fine

What strategies are you using to breathe easier outside in the winter.
Some here are facing their first winter with their lung cancer diagnosis. Others may still be going through treatment now and need to make the trip from the parking spot to the door as painless as possible Treatment causes injury to the lungs making it hard to breathe cold air. What do you do

post chemo radiation initial scan
Hello everyone , had my post treatment scan done on the 30th dec and yesterday was the review meeting with oncologist… they said that this scan was a very early one ( only 3 weeks post treatment ) but they needed it because of the potential for immunotherapy that needs to be started within 43 days

Scanxiety!
It's that time of year again where I am looking for some moral support to get me through the week - I have my annual scan Friday!

Any guidance on having chemo as a ulcerative colitis sufferer?
Hi I have been offered adjuvant chemo following a lower left lobectomy to remove a 42 mm adenocarcinoma. The histology showed no spread to the adjacent lymph nodes. I have a T2b staging. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about a decade ago and, through careful management and medical support

post lung transplant
I have recently been accepted on the lung transplant list (November). I would value any advise/experience on the subject. I apparently have a very good blood group thus estimated waiting 50% 6 months, 80% 12 months. Thank you in advance Paul.

Hello everyone .
Hi all , hope you all managed a reasonable Christmas despite various treatments etc ongoing … I’m interested to hear from anyone who had chemo / radiation treatment for lung cancer stage 3 and didn’t follow up with immunotherapy either because it wasn’t an option or because they chose not to or other

KRAS G13D
Hi All, I'm a recently diagnosed Stage IV 4B NSCLC patient (24 years old) with the KRAS G13D genetic mutation identified in my genetic screening. I've been in 2 rounds of chemo with Cisplatin + Pexemetred with plans to add Keytruda to round 3 and 4. However, my cancer is not responding to my 2nd rounds

Coughing up blood and CT scan results

diagnostic procedure and surgery waiting times
hi, I had a mediastenoscopy about 4 weeks ago where they biopsied lymph nodes. These came out clear which was a big relief. Other people have referred to EBUS or variations of this - but these were not discussed in my case so was not offered an alternative. I obviously would have preferred a less
