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

LUNG TRANSPLANT WAITING LIST
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

It's not a No yet to getting on the Lung Transplant List in the UK
Good afternoon all, Thank you for your responses the other day but I was just wondering if anyone had come up against this in the UK and is if so what they did about it or tried to do next? The situation is, I have lived with one lung since the age of 6 months, I had brittle asthma at birth and my left

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

Unlikely to get listed for Lung Transplant.

Nerve pain after VATS surgery
Hello everyone. First of all, I have never seen a braver group of survivors. Your stories, words of encouragement and positive outlook is amazing. My question is how everyone that has had VATS lobectomy surgery have dealt with your nerve pain. I am 3 weeks healing from surgery and feel just like me

Will anti depressants help?
I had a total colectomy when I was 18, 47 yrs ago. I still wake up everyday and think how friggin stupid I was to have had that operation done, but there were my parents in my room when the drs told me I was going to die. I really wish I would have had the courage to say 'send me home so I can die'

What to do
End of the line with 20% chance of success. Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosed July 2017 strongest chemotherapy possible for 6 rounds 3 weeks apart, caused the tumor to shrink by 50% but came back one month later and spread to my liver and traveling up my spine, they want to try immunotherapy for 2 months

lobectomy - any words of advice?
I am 43 and a non smoker but have been diagnosed with a congenial lung defect (intralobular sequestration). I ave had a very healthy life so far with no coughs, colds, asthma etc. The concept of a lobectomy is a little terrifying but the surgeons think it is the best way forwards. I am trying to be think
