Lobectomy 2 days ago
Wow! This has been rough. Right after operation everything seemed very positive, pain under control and good breathing. Then that evening my blood pressure started dropping, so they've had to do alternate pain meds to epidural. Now my sodium is low. Yesterday was an especially rough day, between the

Good news
Just got a call from lung nurse that I’m cancer free! No further treatment required after the Lobectomy. I’m still recovering but this makes end seem so much closer. This was another primary- 3rd one in 10 months. I’ve now conquered skin cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer!! Follow ups obviously but

Nodule relapse
After having a lobectomy in January 2018, my last scan at 18 months showed a nodule in my right lower and middle lobes. Also a swollen lymph node #10 if that make sense. My Doctor says do no panic. Hmmm easy to say. I guess I read too much and it does not appear the stats are good. Anyone have a similar

Surgical Follow Up Appointment Tomorrow
My post lobectomy follow up appointment with the Thoracic team is tomorrow. I'm not sure what the process is at my local hospital. Does anybody know the standard process? Do they send you for an updated x-ray or scan? The letter doesn't say anything other than the appointment details I know I will

Didn't go to plan
Had a consultant appt Thursday very mixed feelings about it. Firstly she said my HP was under control- no fibrosis showing on CT scan and granulomas are small and non worrisome. But then listened to my lungs and heard the crackles. And I feel no real improvement has occurred to my lung's day-to-day performance

CANCER IS BACK....AGAIN
It has been awhile since I posted anything on here. Two years ago I was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer stage 1. They removed the lower portion of my right lung, cancer was gone. Last year the cancer ( a different type of non-small cell) was found in the left lung. With chemo and radiation

Caspiana...A new lung
Yesterday I received an email from Caspiana advising that she had received "That Call" from the hospital, telling her to come in as they had a lung for her. I have not heard from Cas since so I can only assume that she did have a lung transplant yesterday. If you are of a mind please keep Cas in your

1sr Appointment with Oncologist
Good evening everyone. Good news - the cancer has not spread beyond my lungs! He thinks Immunotherapy is the best option for me (due to the pneumonia I had in October and complications from an illness I had several years ago). There is a possibility of there forever being an infection lurking, albeit

Colon Cancer Warning
Hi everyone. I wanted to give a quick reminder on the importance of getting your scheduled check ups and colonoscopies after your bowel diseases go into remission. My 65 year old father had a deadly bout with ulcerative colitis 30 years ago. He beat it and has been the picture of health for the most

How do you cope day to day
My dad has stage 4 lung cancer. No treatment has ever helped him. How as a daughter do you help function. I’ve a baby and 2 year old and I’m struggling to be happy. My dad knows it’s imminent and my mam cries. I don’t know what to do or say

Has anybody else had problems with removal of stitches following lobectomy
Hi everybody. Hope everybody is managing to find some time to relax and enjoy the good weather this weekend. A little sunshine is almost always cheering. I attended my GP surgery on Friday to have stitches removed. One of the wounds is left with paper/dissolving stitches which day 13 don't appear
