Lung cancer volunteer activities for kids
My husband appreciated this site. Reading everyoneās experiences gave him hope and knowledge, and he was thankful to members on this site who replied to his questions/concerns during his one year battle with Stage IV NSCLC. After losing their dad to NSCLC about 3 weeks ago, my kids (ages 10, 13 and 15

Do you want to have a friendly chat with a researcher about your experiences?
[We're still recruiting to this study in case there are any new members or people who still wanted to take part] Were you diagnosed with lung cancer within the last 12 months? Have your say about your experiences in the PEARL study - a research programme led by UCL and funded by Cancer Research UK.

Can anyone help or advise please?
Hi, I've had a swollen thyroid on one side for several months, the ultrasound scan I had in January found it to be about 40mm diameter. I have (as yet) had no symptoms thankfully & all blood tests came back ok so no hypo- or hyper- thyroidism. I had a FNA biopsy in January too & it was found to be "inconclusive

Age-related muscle loss and walking abilities predict outcomes after lung cancer surgery.
Lung cancer is a major global cause of mortality, reportedly accounting for 1.7 million deaths each year. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and early-stage NSCLCs can often be surgically resected. Unfortunately, some patients still experience poor outcomes after

Probably the greatest dilemma of my life.
Currently going through double lung transplant assessments due to IPF.One strict no go which strikes you off the list is cancer as , quite rightly, donated healthy lungs should go to those who have a longer chance of survival . Now the dilemma... discovered a great lump in my neck which may or may not

Sculpting radiation beam spares lung cancer patients from severe, disabling complication.
For many patients with localized lung cancer (non-small-cell lung carcinoma and small cell lung carcinoma), high-dose radiation with concurrent chemotherapy is a potential cure. Yet this treatment can cause severe, acute inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis) in about one in five patients, requiring

Anyone else on osimertinib?
Hi, I've met with the oncologist today and been put on osimertinib. Apparently I have an EGFR mutation and it's not curable but this will stop it for a while. I had a lobectomy last year and we thought we'd got rid of the cancer then but it seems not! Is anyone else in a similar situation or have any

Harefield Lung Transplant
Hi, I am on the lung transplant list at QE Hospital Birmingham, but surgery there is still suspended and will be until June at the earliest. I am therefore going to be seen at Harefield in the hope I can go on their list. Iāve been on Birminghamās list since July, but with no transplants since January

Scientists identify protein that could serve as a therapeutic target in lung cancer.
Scientists at VCU Massey Cancer Center have identified a protein that operates in tandem with a specific genetic mutation to spur lung cancer growth and could serve as a therapeutic target to treat the disease. Mutations in the p53 gene are found in more than half of all cancers, but it remains difficult

Keytruda and Guillain Barre Syndrome
After various false starts, it has been confirmed that the Immunotherapy treatment with Keytruda has been the cause of my GBS event in January. I'm off immunotherapy forever now. Just learned today that my lung tumor has grown and is getting close to my airway. Looking at possible radiation treatment
