GPs report ‘perfect storm’ of problems leading to 20,000 drop in urgent referrals for lung cancer
Reluctance to attend hospital tests and come forward about symptoms could be contributing to delays in lung cancer diagnosis, a Cancer Research UK survey of GPs across the UK shows. The study of 1,000 GPs has helped to explain a decline in both diagnosis and treatment rates for the disease, with urgent

Post Lobectomy
Hi all, I had a right lower open surgery lobectomy last July and fortunately advised they removed the mass completely and no further treatment required. It was found to be non-small-cell lung cancer – squamous cell carcinoma. I have since had several scans due to chest infections and a cough which does

Feeling tired
Well hi everyone, just a wee update on my bronchoscopy 18th march, apparently consultant could not get near the tumor to get a biopsy so they washed the lungs with salt water sucked out the flush and sent it away for testing, the whole experience wasnt too bad, still bit of sore throat and windpipe

Stage 3 Lung Cancer
Hi everyone, I’ve spent the last couple of months looking through various forums online and finally plucked up the courage to post today. My dad turned 60 this year and has recently been diagnosed last month with stage 3 lung cancer. It’s one tumour on the right side of his lung and his lymph nodes

I have recently

Seeking information & support re Pancoast Tumour.
I am a newbie and am wondering if there might be others out there in the same position? I have recently been diagnosed with a Pancoast tumour in my right lung. Biopsies & tests have shown the staging to be T4 N2. I have been told that this is non-operable and can only be treated on a palliative basis

Lung cancer cells have differential signaling responses to KRAS inhibitor treatment.
Genetic alterations of the KRAS gene are some of the most common mutations in lung cancer patients, but unfortunately these patients have few effective treatment options. Drugs that target the G12C mutation in KRAS have shown some activity in lung cancer; however, alternative signaling pathways are often

TREATMENT FOR PSEUDOMONAS.
Hi going on Meropenem again. This is the third time since September. I've had two X rays still showing a shadow on my left lung waiting for a Ct Scan. At the moment I feel like it's never ending. 😕😡 Holly
