C T Scan results
The results were not good. There was small, but continued growth in the left lung tumor and new growth in a previously stable nodule in the right lung. After reviewing all the possibilities for treatment and the very slow progression of the tumors, my oncologist and I decided on a watch and wait plan

Talking about blood...
Hi everybody, I must say this site is certainly a godsend when it comes to giving encouragement and inspiration. So thanks everybody who replies to worries, anxiety and concerns,especially those not fully addressed by GPs because of time restraints. The latest posts on blood are of particular interest

17 years of various treatments
Hi Y'all, Regarding my husband, I have dragged him through 17 years of various treatments--all failed. However, he is still alive and kicking after all these years and we are grateful for that. He has lived a mostly normal, unaffected life through it all. He had a laparoscopic prostatectomy done

Crohn's disease and lung cancer
4 weeks after my right upper lobectomy in late August, I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my right lobe main artery. I was prescribed Xarelto and told that it would dissolve in 4-6 weeks. 8 weeks later I had another CT and was diagnosed with another clot in my vein. I went for a second opinion and

Chostocondritis Flare-up
Is there anything that anyone can recommend, I am coming to the end of my Baclofen and Dihydrocodeine, and I am still getting flair ups. Does anyone know of any natural remedies, in terms of pain management, rather than have to rely on medication, because I am aware that overuse, can lead to addiction

Post Lung Surgery
In 2010 I had a bi-
Lobectomy
lung
operation. Initially I had limited physiothrapy but apart from seeing the consultant every few months any form of rehabilitation was only available by application. I gave up and bought a indoor exercise bike, brilliant but lost motivation.

Video about a lung cancer clinical trial by the New England Journal of Medicine
Results of a clinical trial of an EGFR-agent called osimertinib was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. A short video was made to discuss this important trial. Based on the results, it is expected that the FDA will approve osimertinib as first-line treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated

Pneumothorax scare
It's safe to say that 2018 hasn't exactly started according to plan! Less than a week after my big appointment and tests with my team at the Brompton I had to take myself to A&E after suffering acute chest pain and slightly increased breathless after a work out at the gym. X-rays revealed a rather sizeable

Just diagnosed
Hi, I am new here. I was diagnosed with a lung nodule in my upper left lung in December. It was found after LD-CAT. It was followed up by a PET scan which showed that it had not metastasized as far as they could tell. The PET was not definitive but they are pretty sure it is cancer because of the shape

Feeling Deflated
This past Wednesday I went in to discuss with my pulmonologist where I am at on my journey in this life. I had previously last May thought I might consider the lung transplant. Began a required regimen and after two months of being sick from the medication decided that I was not going that route. Feeling
