It gets lonely and chemo curls suck!
People don't want to hear that you have lung cancer or about your lung cancer. My biggest beef, though, is still these darn chemo curls. I used to have beautiful hair and the darn cancer pills took my hair and turned it into a mess. I'm still alive and do 2 hours of exercises each and every day. I'm

Very scared and was expecting this so soon. I am thinking what if I don’t have the transplant and the doctors are

Your Voices, Part 2: “Scanxiety; it really is true”
Scans can be a scary time for everyone. Being unsure of what your scan results may bring can cause anxiety for those awaiting results, and even for those who have not yet had their scan. Scanxiety is the term given to this anxiety felt by those who are undergoing a lung cancer scan. Over the past few

Copd and lung transplant
Last time I I saw my consultant he mentioned having a transplant I sort of froze. I have read about it on as much as I dare. Suppose I'm scared. How long are you in hospital how successful is the op. How long are you in hospital for.

Hello,i have stage 4 nsclc and have been in treatment since Dec 2016. My first chemo was carboplatin/alimta which i did great! My ICMA (the long name in the title) which i understood to be a tumor "marker" dropped from around 60 to the 20s, which excited me. My doctor said dont place too much faith in

Lungs are a go-go after encouraging lung check-up
On Wednesday I had my first lung function tests since my pneumothorax back in January. Today I went through the results with my new consultant who told me the brilliant news that there had been no change to my lung capacity or transfer based. The consultant also told me that based on Wednesday's results

Interested in being more involved in lung research?

EBUS Results
Good Morning all. I had a PET Scan EBUS on 13th June. Results on 22nd June. The tiny growths were not cancer returning, so I am still clear. They are new granulomas forming. Which are benign Sarcoidosis, a condition I have actively lived with for many years with no treatment thankfully. I would rather
