Travel Insurance after lung surgery
My wife, aged 73 was diagnosed with
lung
cancer 12 months ago and subsequently underwent a left upper
lobectomy
. We are now hoping to undertake a cruise to Scandinavia and are seeking travel insurance. Has anybody discovered a travel insurance company who might be able to assist?

Lung Transplant
I am 58 years old. My Pulmonologist says I may need a lung transplant if the meds I’m on don’t show any signs of the lung scarring slowing down. I would like to know if anybody close to to my age had a lung transplant?I am skeptical about major surgery when you’re not young.

Lung Transplant listing...
For those who already know 20 months ago I was told by Papworth that I was severe enough for a transplant but due to a damaged Oesophagus due to reflux I didn’t qualify!!! Last March I broke down in front of my respiratory consultant and told her that I felt I’d been let down by the system. She personally

“Disease Flare” in lung cancer
Hi all 😊 I am still around and check in on you all even if I don’t always post. As a lot of you know, my dad had stage IV NSCLC adenocarcinoma diagnosed 2/28/18, low tumor volume, and was held stable until 9/2018 at which time he went into the hospital on 10/16 and heartbreakingly passed on 11/20/18

Treatment withdrawn, do we have any more options?
Hi all I’m writing this out of desperation and am probably clutching at straws. I would like some advice on whether there is any more I should / could be doing to help my Dad or just accept that there is nothing more that can be done. He was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in May 2018. It had

Post thyroidectomy
Hello, I had my completition thyroidectomy on Monday, but unfortunately had a hematoma after surgery so was taken back into theatre on Monday evening, bleeding stopped and an extra couple of clips placed on the arteries. In comparison to my lobectomy I’m exhausted, and as pictures show extremely bruised

Help with Blue Horizon Thyroid Test Results
I wonder if someone would be able to tell me what my test results mean. In October I had a total thyroid lobectomy to remove a 6cm lump, which was benign. Since having the operation my TSH was 5.46 (range 0.27 to 4.2). I was started on 50mg of levo. Last week, I had a blood test at my consultants

Lung transplant
This week my lung specialist asked me if I would want to have a lung transplant. So I am going to go to Toronto and meet with the transplant team and see what a lung transplant is all about. So my question for everyone is, if you had a chance to get a lung transplant would you get one done, and why ?

Tarceva scalp
I am a near 10 year lung cancer survivor. The last 4 1/2 with stage 4 NSCLC, currently in remission. Have taken Tarceva since Sept of 2014 and had never connected the scabbing on the top of my head as being Tarceva side effect. The responses here are quite interesting. I’ve always thought it was from
