Can someone help my understand when immunotherapy is an option?
Hi, my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 non small cell lung cancer with Mets to bones in Feb 2019. She has EGFR mutation 18. The doctor mentioned possibly trying immunotherapy as she is having progression to more bones after two TKI and chemo. She does not have PDL1 mutation and her last blood biopsy

LUNG TRANSPLANT
it Was an Amazing programme again tonight and they are even learning to grow heart muscle to repair hearts as well in the future. It's truly amazing what they can do these days and the surgeons are Absolutely Priceless. Hope you all enjoyed the programme who watched it. Take care and keep well. Brian

Is it back?
Hi everyone. Had left lower lobectomy 18 months ago. Had a CT Scan two weeks ago and the nodules in my right middle and right lower have grown. 🙁. Still very small. 8mm and 5mm But they have grown. My consultant once told me if they grow chances are it’s cancer in the right lung as in the left.

Left lobectomy
I'm sat here in hospital recovering from a lower left lobectomy. Had full thoracic surgery. Apart fromthe usual it seems as though my lung is leaking around the staples. The consultant says this is normal but they can't take my drain out until it stops leaking. Has anyone else had this problem?

For patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the most common subtype of lung cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, two major treatment strategies have emerged: tyrosine

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.

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
