Accessing second course of Immunotherapy
Hi all I'm posting on here in the hope to find someone who has been able to access a second course of immunotherapy treatment. My mum was diagnosed in 2015 with stage 4 lung cancer. She went straight onto chemotherapy which made her very poorly and didn't do much to her cancer at all. Her consultant

Extrapulmonary small cell cancer
Hi everyone, My wife was recently diagnosed with extrapulmonary small cell cancer which presented in the breast. After having PET scan and brain MRI the cancer was thankfully no where else in her body. This type of cancer is very rare and the treatment is typically the same as for small cell lung cancer

Pneumonia Recovery Issue
I just recovered from viral pneumonia after being diagnosed on 11-11-2022. Is it common, after all this time to have good and bad days (meaning feeling well then the next day feeling like a truck hit me) and also my breathing hasn't quite returned to normal either. It's not real bad, but it is noticeable

Looking for someone going through something similar to me! Metastatic lung cancer spread to lymph nodes and spine?
I’m 40 and have stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to my lymph nodes and spine. Anyone else in the same situation? I’m interested in what treatment you are getting or had that has proved successful? Thank you Kate

More aggressive options for Stage 1 cancer post lobectomy.
Hi all. By accident (calcium heart check) found a 2cm nodule in MRL 2 months ago. (non smoker) 1 week ago had a lobectomy to remove it. (and yes love coughing right now...) Although still waiting on official staging it should be 1a. Tumour was adenocarcinoma (80% lepedic 20% acinar) no detection of it

New Year, new lungs?
Entering 2022, I'm not disappointed to be waving goodbye to 2021. Covid ruled over us all in the early part of the year and then reared its ugly head again at the end of the year to add further anxiety and stress. However, for someone who up until March was having to shield, in reality it never really

Staging questions
If lung cancer is contained to both lungs is it still considered Stage 4? My mom's doctor just ran a PET Scan and confirmed other suspicious areas outside her lungs are negative or benign - does that change her diagnosis? They didn't mention...

Surgery this week
I met my consultant this week and he has booked me in for a VATS lobectomy on Thursday. Shocked at the speed this has all happened but extremely grateful. Naturally feeling anxious and worried about pain post surgery. Can anybody give me the benefit of their similar experience. It helps so much speaking

What are the side effects of immunotherapy?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and the recommended treatment is immunotherapy, as the biopsy showed 90% compatibility with immunotherapy. What kind of side effects should I expect?

Lung cancer and depression and anxiety
Is depression particularly linked to lung cancer, over and above the obvious cause of having a life limiting/ threatening condition ?

What a couple of weeks…😡
Following double lung transplant assessments they have now discovered i have coronary stenosis but cannot make a final decision until a further report is prepared and discussed with the cardiologist. These tests are so thorough as only the fittest( ironic eh!) can be put forward. Depending on the grade

Radiotherapy burns
Hi guys After having my whole right lung removed I was doing very well and walking up to 20 minutes at a time. Since having 10 days of radiotherapy a couple of weeks after I have developed very shortness of breath and can’t walk a few yards without gasping for air I had a bronchoscope as there though

6 monthly assessment
Quick update regarding a question I had a couple of months ago. I was worried that I would not be able to perform the walk test at my my 6 monthly check up for my lung transplant. I took your advise, gritted my teeth and increased my oxygen. I managed 4 minutes of slow walking, rested and then completed

Can you get life insurance with advanced lung cancer?
My partner who is 42 years old has recently been diagnosed with stage 3/4 lung cancer which has spread to her lymph nodes. We don’t own our house and she doesn’t have life insurance, are there any companies out there who offer life insurance to someone who has an advanced lung cancer. Any information

Feeling a bit Hopeless
I have been on the lung transplant list for 18 months. I had one dry run 4 months ago, but I am wondering if I will ever get the call. Transplants are low, party because of Covid and only 30% of people on the list received a transplant in the year up to March, according to latest statistics. This has
