My husband could benefit from some prayers
I haven't posted in a while but my husband can use some prayers. He was non-operable 2 years ago due to location of his lung cancer. He went through 2 types of chemo and radiation. They both failed. He was started on Opdivo but since has developed 5 new areas one near collar bone, another in lung and

Pathos Report from Transurethral Urinary Bladder Tumor Resection
Finishing the surgery, my urologist thought the bladder tumors were entirely superficial and it shouldn’t affect my status for getting a lung transplant (the parameters are cancer free, smoke free for at least two years). Turns out some were low grade, but some were high grade (actively growing). Very

Hello, I was recently 2 months ago diagnosed with a rare lung cancer, getting palative care with radiation and possible immunotherapy drug. Been in the hospital for over 2 months now, cant wait to get out. Came here to learn what I can, see how others are doing and see if there are other forms of treatment

Help please - bras post surgery
Hello, I was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple of weeks ago and I’ve just come out of hospital after an operation to get biopsies to determine exactly what type of cancer it is. I can’t wear my bras - even comfy non-wired ones - because they fit very close to the site of the incision and drains etc

Surgery May Send Me to the Back of the Queue.
The Transurethral Urinary Bladder Tumor Resection I had last Wednesday may impede my standing for a lung transplant. The pulmonologist upon learning of this diagnosis said in order to be on the donor waiting list, you have to be cancer free for at least two years. However, the urologist said the tumors

In need of some encouragement and insight. (waking up from coma, dealing with the trach, etc...)
Luckily (in a way...) she was already in hospital at the time (she's gone through a
lobectomy

lung
lobe, after being diagnosed with lung cancer. A relatively small tumor with likely no metastasis.

Scan done but Tech asked if I had lung surgery?
I hate these scans. The Tech asked if I had lung surgery? I did have my port removed but that’s not in my lung. I’m so scared I called the Oncologist. Of course they just said that they have not heard anything from Radiology. Said they would call if they heard anything. I hate acting this way but I know

Diabetes and lung transplant
Hi does anyone on the transplant list have diabetes? Or post transplant with diabetes before transplant? My husband is waiting on an assessment appointment but today found out that he may have diabetes, really worried that this may mean he in not suitable for transplant.

Oregon Patients Access to Best Care May Be Denied. Call to Action
This is a copy of a blog written by my friend Janet Freeman-Daly. It’s important that they locate patients who can testify as to how genomic sequencing has improved or saved their lives. This will affect every type of cancer so if you know someone else who has benefited please let them know ******

Metastatic Lung Cancer.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Metastatic Lung Cancer (original site: oral) but, to date, I have shown no physical deterioration. Anyone else in a similar position ? The uncertainty is driving me crazy. The Consultants have advised me that it will "attack" eventually. It's the waiting and not knowing

Are you willing to talk to the press about treatment options?
hello all We have had a request from a pharmaceutical company regarding a possible press interview next week. They are looking for someone who has had lung cancer and perhaps has had surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. You would be interviewed by the press (most likely newspaper journalist) regarding

Radiation dilemma! IMRT vs Proton
Hi, I have another radiation question if anyone has any opinions or help that would be greatly appreciated! The mapping is complete now for my dad and the tumor next to his heart causing the SVC syndrome. The verdict came back that on paper it shows IMRT would be slightly less radiation to the heart

National organ donation week
Well it's national organ donation week and I have had the opportunity to be a recipient of a single lung transplant in November 2016. I'm doing great!! And all because a very kind family agreed for their loved one to donate their organs. I'm eternally grateful for the second chance at life with my daughter
