Lung cancer treatment
Hi My father has squamous cell carcinoma T4 N0 M0 on upper right lung. Can’t have surgery due to location and can’t have chemo due to MRI brain showing some vessels enlarged .. as this could lead to a stroke . So he is just started plan of 20x Radical radiotherapy treatments. Clinic letter from oncologist

CT scan says I have bullious lung disease
Hi, I’m new to the community I’m in the process of finding out what’s going on so don’t know very much about my situation yet, but the short story is I had a CT scan on Tuesday and my GP practice phoned the next day (yesterday) and told me I have severe bullious lung disease. I have been referred to

Double Lung Transplant
My uncle got a double lung transplant September 11, 2020. He is currently in ICU. He had to have 2 emergency surgeries due to one of the lungs not working properly. He was put on an ECMO machine and ventilator. 2 days later they put him on dyalisis. I've been visiting him daily. It's so hard to see him

Clinical Trial of Selpercatinib Shows Strong Response for Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
An international team of researchers has found that selpercatinib, a drug that precisely targets cancers driven by mutations or alterations in the gene RET, was effective at shrinking tumours in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a majority of patients living for more than a year without

How should I feel after a lobectomy?
I had an upper right lobectomy 6 months ago (Robot/VAT I believe it’s called). Should I be feeling “normal” now. Currently, I have pain below my breasts for which I take over-the-counter Percogesic. That works pretty well. And, my lungs don’t feel normal. I would describe them as feeling tight.

Surgery vs. CyberKnife
Had another PET 9/1 and the tumor grew from 1/8-2.2cm in three months. The needle biopsy I had in June was 'inconclusive'. The thoracic surgeon I went to for a second opinion wants to take the top lobe of my right lung. I looked into CyberKnife and had a consult with a radiology oncologist. She said

Study finds lung transplant patients not given antifungal preventive drugs have higher risk of death.
Antifungal preventive medications reduce mortality risk by half in the first year following lung transplantation, according to Mayo Clinic research involving 667 patients who received lung transplants from 2005 to 2018. The retrospective study, published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society

Finding things hard to process after lung cancer and chemo
I am week 10 post op after right lobectomy and have just finished 2 cycles of chemo with 2 cycles to go . Has anyone else been through this treatment and how did you feel at this point. I am so angry and frustrated with my body at the moment.

Lung cancer risks becoming ‘forgotten disease’ of the coronavirus pandemic.
Of all cancer types, referrals for suspected lung cancer have been the hardest hit according to weekly two week wait (2ww) figures(link is external) in England. At the end of August, the number of people sent for urgent review and tests in England was still at only around 60% of pre lockdown figures.

Lung cancer stage 4 and treatment
I am not exactly sure how this site works. I want to introduce myself and possibly get feedback on anyone who is in a similar situation. I have anxiety/depression but I also have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. I just had my 2nd treatment of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A friend of mine told me

Cavitating lesion
I had a lobectomy 9 years ago and (foolishly) thought I would have no more problems as all my scans since surgery have been clear. Breathing has always been a problem due to emphysema, but has lately got worse - X-rays, CT Scan and now PET scan show I have a 5cm "cavitating lesion" in that same lung

Dysphagia
We enter new territory. Since Ian's total colectomy 3 weeks ago, he has been having real problems swallowing, and chokes on water etc. I am about to collect some thickener from the farmacia. He has little appetite and his speech has pretty much disappeared, all in a short space of time. We are home

New immunotherapy to beat cancer.
Sophie Lucas (UCLouvain de Duve Institute) and her team succeeded in neutralising a molecule that blocks the immune system against cancer. UCLouvain scientists discovered that this new immunotherapy increases the action of another well-known but not always effective immunotherapy, and that it makes tumour
