exon 19 deletion mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor
Hi all, This is my first post on this forum, please be gentle with me! Is anyone familiar with this genetic mutation which is sometimes seen in non-small cell lung cancers? The last 4 months have been a roller-coaster ride for me ever since a tumour with satellite nodules were spotted in the lower lobe

Two drugs used in combination prove to be effective against most aggressive asbestos cancer in mice.
Currently, there are few effective treatments for malignant mesothelioma, although it has been decades since it was found that the major risk factor is exposure to asbestos The drugs identified by CNIO researchers are being tested on other types of cancer, which can speed up clinical trials for mesothelioma

Goodbye and thank you
Hi everyone I am sorry to say that my husband died 10 days ago. We knew it was our last Christmas together and he was home on Christmas day which was what he wanted more than anything. He was diagnosed with SCLC in April 2018 so we had 21 months together after diagnodis which is more than a lot of people

Removing body clock gene protects mice against pneumonia.
Removing the clock gene BMAL1 makes bacteria-engulfing defence cells in the body more effective, a University of Manchester and University of Oxford study published in the journal PNAS has found. This is the first time a clock gene has been found to affect resistance to bacterial pneumonia, a fatal

Lung Transplant for BO
Today is the day! I am meeting with my Lung Transplant team for the very first time. I have Bronchiolitis Obliterans. My only expectation is that they will give me a list of things to accomplish. If they don't, then I will know that there is no transplant ahead in my future. I am 63 years old. I am so

Pulmonary fibrosis
My sister in-law has RA but was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis this past September. Has anyone else experienced this and what course of action was taken. My SIL is on oxygen 24/7 and is on a lung transplant list. Anyone have similar issues?

BO Update
I came to this site about 6 months ago. I was diagnosed with Bronchiolitis Obliterans in 2017. I follow at Temple Lung Institute. I am just returning to this group after the usual medical adventures. It has been a whirlwind of a year. I can't wait to see the back of 2019. I am exhausted. This is my time

Will this immunotherapy work for me? A common immune cell points the way.
For many lung cancer patients, the best treatment options involve checkpoint inhibitors. These immunotherapy drugs unleash a patient’s immune system against their disease and can yield dramatic results, even in advanced cancers. But checkpoint inhibitors come with a huge caveat: They only help a small

Learning from the bears.
Grizzly bears spend many months in hibernation, but their muscles do not suffer from the lack of movement. In the journal “Scientific Reports”, a team led by Michael Gotthardt reports on how they manage to do this. The grizzly bears’ strategy could help prevent muscle atrophy in humans as well. “Muscle

Good evening all. Since my lobectomy in March and followed by chemo for 6cm adenocarcinoma I'm due for a scan in three months, six months then after my last one. I have started to bounce back now since the chemo which finished in July. The main lingering setback was mental fatigue and stress due to

Caraway Oil - It DOES work!!
My darling Wife has always been in tune with seeds & stuff, especially since beating her cancer back in 2008, so I listened when she said "were you aware that caraway Seed Oil is good for releasing mucus?", to which I replied no of course, but then gave it a try for a week, just 3mg dropped onto the

Introducing myself and asking a question! Do any of you take Spiriva2.5 1 puff 2 x a day instead of 2puffs 1 x a day?
Hi, I’ve been reading and responding to posts on this site for about a year. I am diagnosed with bronchiectasis and asthma. I had asthma as a child but out grew it when I was about 16. I didn’t have any issues until 20 years ago due to an environmental accident over a period of 6 months; My lung function

Pembrolizumab/ Keytruda stopped
Well the oncologist has now stopped my pembrolizumab due to side effects. So I had been on it for about 1 year and had only a couple of side effects the first one in early April last year was bad fluid on the heart and lungs. That was sorted and immunotherapy commenced. Recently I have had immunotherapy
