Completed lung transplant assessment ...
Hello All, My mother and I have just completed a lung transplant assessment with Papworth. It was definitely jam packed with tests and they wanted to paint a realistic sobering picture of life post transplant and possible complications... The end result is that my mother needs to have an angiogram before

Flu jab for over 65's - Lobectomy
Awaiting date for surgery any time now. I am booked in to have a flu jab tomorrow (13th Nov). Now not sure whether I should still have it. The lobectomy is via a thoracotomy.

Hi I am just wondering if there is any support groups around Wrightington, Wigan, Chorley Lancashire or Greater Manchester? My Dad was told his lung cancer had returned in October he still hasn’t started treatment, he is due to start chemo on 10th Dec by that point it will be just over 8 weeks since

Stage IV Lung Cancer Diagnosed/ Life Expectancy
My dad was told he had 6 months to 1 year of life left with treatment when he was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer.

Self-confidence..
I am lacking confidence in what I am trying to accomplish from my daily life to my medical journey.. It happens when I feel sick or tired.. Then I tend to procrastinate and postpone things to do... I tend to doubt.. It’s ok I know I must pull through, not let it slide.. I need reminding of the beauty

Tagrisso
My brother (based in the USA) has been diagnosed with Lung cancer, which has also spread to the lymph nodes and 3 bones as well. He has been started on the drug Tagrisso in the past few days. The cost is $5000 per month over and above their medical insurance contribution, which is not sustainable for

RECEDING GUMS DUE TO MEDICATION FROM LUNG TRANSPLANT. HELP?
I am in recovery from a double lung transplant. I am so fortunate to be able to breathe properly again! However all the drugs I am using are ruining my gums, I am 65 so I know teeth and gums do get worse, but is there anything that will prevent this gum deterioration.

Lung transplant - how do youmake that decision?
hi everyone,I have just been told that I forfill the criteria for a double lung transplant at Birmingham QE. It’s massive news and I am delighted to be accepted and have that chance, however I’m not sure I’m ready to make that decision. It all feels a bit surreal. I lost my partner 2 years ago to cancer

Completion Thyroidectomy
Hello, Last year I had a Thyroid lobectomy and have since had a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s which has unfortunately caused a nodule on the other side of my thyroid which is causing problems with my swallowing so I’ve now been booked in for a completion thyroidectomy. Feeling particularly anxious as I know
