Execises for nerve pain?
I'm new here. I had a lobectomy 2 years ago and was feeling great until a year later when I have what I now know is nerve pain. It is constant on my side/back/rib area. Are there exercises specifically to help? I just started taking Lyrica.

Lung transplant list
So today I learned my lung transplant journey has come to an end. My body has failed me whilst my mind is still breakdancing. An osteoporotic fracture in my spine is one risk too many for me to receive the gift of new lungs - it was going to be an already high risk operation due to my many complications

Immunotherapy alone extended life for metastatic lung cancer patients with KRAS mutation.
Real-word evidence is suggesting, for the first time, the most beneficial treatment courses that could help extend the lives of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, according to research from the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. In a new study published online

Researchers Identify Potential Targets for Novel Treatments for Lung Cancer.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths, accounting for about a third of all tumor-related deaths. Adenocarcinomas, a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), account for about 40 percent of cancer diagnoses, but few treatments are available for the disease. A team of investigators led by Elena

Update to lobectomy
Hello everyone Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement recently. I am now 2 weeks post lobectomy and all is going very well. Has been a good straightforward recovery! I now await full results from the hospital telling me more about type of cancer spread etc. That should be in a week

Level of chromosomal abnormality in lung cancer may predict immunotherapy response.
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer cells have low levels of aneuploidy – an abnormal number of chromosomes – tend to respond better to immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs than patients with higher levels, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers will report at the virtual AACR

Oxygen and Holidays
Hi, I know it’s possible to have a concentrator delivered to a holiday cottage. Can you tell me whether it is sometimes a problem with the cottage owners. I’m on the lung transplant list, but at the moment none are being done. I heard yesterday that it will be at least 2 months, until transplants are

COVID-19 patient receives lung transplant from living donors.
Doctors in Japan announced Thursday they have successfully performed the world’s first transplant of lung tissue from living donors to a patient with severe lung damage from COVID-19. The recipient, identified only as a woman from Japan’s western region of Kansai, is recovering after the nearly 11-hour

Lung Cancer Livingroom. Where I found support and info early in my diagnosis.
In the scary, early days of a lung cancer diagnosis finding hope is difficult. Learning the language around lung cancer is overwhelming. Through the Lung Cancer Living Room I learned the stories of other patients and was educated by some of the best oncologists and researchers. This is the schedule

Does anyone have experience with Immunotherapy Atezolizumab?
Hi, I was diagnosed with LC stage 4 in Dec and had 3 cycles of Gencarbo which sadly did not have any impact. I have limited options available moving forward apparently as I have nsc squamous type cancer. Does anyone have experience that they can share with an immunotherapy called Atezolizumab please?

Chemo for lung disease
Morning, I’m due to start chemo for my lung disease in two weeks. Just wandering if anyone has had the six month treatment? I’m worried about feeling and been sick! Sadly my ct scan and lung function has shown a 15% decrease and addition scarring so really need to be strong and get on with it......

Update
Goid news and mixed up news . Oncologist rang to say bowel clear, liver spot melted away.,biopsy undefined at local source so sent to Nottingham. Most likely lymphoma. Whats happened to psoriatic?, I asked about lymphoma as I had no idea and he said he didn't deal with it but would transfer me ASAP.

Low Oxygen Levels
I’m getting very worried about my oxygen levels. I have chronic hypersensitivity Pneumonitis with Fibrosis. On 24 hour oxygen and on lung transplant list. Trying to stay fit to help with the post operative recovery but the slightest activity now makes my SAT’s plummet. Despite using the oxygen, my levels

AI used in battle against asbestos-linked cancer.
International genomics research led by the University of Leicester has used artificial intelligence (AI) to study an aggressive form of cancer, which could improve patient outcomes. Mesothelioma is caused by breathing asbestos particles and most commonly occurs in the linings of the lungs or abdomen

Lobectomy?
Hello everyone I have a slow growing tumour in my left upper lobe. Going in to hospital on Thursday with op on Friday. They will remove the tumour and analyse whilst I'm still under anaesthetic, if cancerous they will proceed to lobectomy. Am very nervous about this procedure has anyone else been through
