World first ?
I've just read about a 15yr old cystic fibrosis double lung transplant recipient who has been saved from a antibiotic resistant infection with something called phages, as far as I can gather these " phages" are friendly viruses that attack infections , under the microscope this particular phase looks

Lung cancer stage 4
My husband has lung cancer stage 4. He has been on a drug called Iressa for 5 weeks which he has to take 1 a day. Has anybody else taken this and what was the outcome. Did it reduce the tumour at all.

Stage 4 NSCLC with metatasis to brain
Hi Someone really close to me has been diagnosed in April with lung cancer that had spread to the brain. We are in complete shock. As this is stage 4 it’s non treatable but they suggest radiotherapy to the whole brain And then immunotherapy to the lung. We have been told they have limited time. With

Bronchiecstasis & pneumonia
Diagnosed with brochiecstasis in 2004. Have 65% lung capacity. Been recuperating from pneumonia since late March. I’m on oxygen therapy. After 2 follow up visits (& mri & chest c-rays), was told if lungs don’t return to the health prior to the pneumonia, may have to consider a lung transplant. That sound

Opportunity for paid interview.
If you were diagnosed with lung cancer in the last 3 years and you are on a second line of treatment but have NOT had progression you qualify. Must be a US citizen. Pays $100 for a 1 hour interview. Example: Chemo then a maintenance drug or chemo then immunotherapy. I’ve worked with this group

Left Side Toxic Adenoma - awaiting left lobectomy
Hello all, I have the above which causes hyperthyroidism - I am on 15 mg of carbimazole each day which completely keeps me stable. The goiter has not grown at all from when I discovered it and it is benign. It causes me no discomfort with swallowing or breathing and Im quite happy on the carbimazole

Unbearable wait.
Hi everyone I'm new here. My sister in law was diagnosed with lung cancer 7 weeks ago. Pleural fluid results came back inconclusive so she had biopsy 10 days ago. Still no results . Is it normal to wait this long? Thanks x
