Report on the 2018 Lung Cancer Leadership Conference
“Lung Cancer Leadership Conference” - that is an intriguing title for a conference. Free to Breathe has held this conference for several years. The event was not offered in 2017, as Free to Breathe and the Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) merged, but it was back this year, and I was invited to

Strength in numbers
A couple of weeks ago I visited the BLF Direct Helpline team up in Liverpool as part of my induction training after joining the BLF in December. I was enormously impressed by everything that I saw and what struck me the most was just how passionate, friendly and hard-working the whole team are. Their

My dad recently diagnosed with NSCLC... Need help..
Hi all, My dad (64 years old) found out on 2/28/18 that they suspected lung cancer following a CT scan. It was confirmed and I got him in ASAP with Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. After a PET scan, it was confirmed stage 4 NSCLC. My hope was in the Opdivo/Yervoy clinical trial they were offering

Worried about my man!
Good evening, I’m new here and I just need a sounding board. My 51 year old partner has been having problems since nov 17, and although not diagnosed formally had been told that he has ILD and that has caused other serious complications (autoimmune haemolytic anaemia) and is now on oxygen at home in

Struggling with FND diagnosis
Hi everyone, I’m very glad to have found this site! I was diagnosed with FND at the end of January so this is all very new to me. To give you some background I have a very complex set of medical conditions- I have Cystic Fibrosis and underwent a successful double lung transplant in 2012, so I am immunosuppressed

Is there anywhere I can go to talk to people who are on this list? I really need some one who understands?

Flying with Iressa and lung cancer will
Hi all, I was lucky to have the mutation for Iressa and have been on it for nearly 6 months. The scan in Jan showed shrinkage and s/e bearable. I’m 72 and I’ve just booked a flight from New Zealand to Cape Town - 27 or more hours which is terribly long. Any suggestions to help make the trip more bearable

After lobectomy
Hi all, I’m new here.. I had a vats upper left lobectomy for nsclc stage 1A nodule 12 weeks ago. Clean lymph nodes. I have a strong family history of lung cancer so I was in an annual screening program. It was found with my 2nd annual scan. I was asymptomatic. 57 year old female. Otherwise, pretty healthy

Thyroid blood test results
I'm new here and would like some feedback on my results if possible please. I've recently had a blood test as I've been struggling with low energy levels and mood, I had a lobectomy 3 years ago but this is the first time I've had a detailed test. It looks like I have a low Vit D which I can supplement
