Healthy 70 YO White Male Sharing Lung Cancer Experience
Okay. I’m a lung cancer survivor. I’ve had cancer and I’m not dead. The non-small cell adenocarcinoma they removed March, 2017, along with the lower lobe of my left lung, was stage IA. That’s damn good. Statistically, that means I have a 49% chance of living another five years. Of course statistics

EXCESSIVE DYNAMIC AIRWAY COLLAPSE
Hi everybody! I had a bronchoscopy last December, to be told that I had EDAC (excessive dynamic airway collapse). I have had no follow up meetings with the Thoracic doctor, as he said there was nothing to do. I was just told to keep my weight down, and look it up on the internet. I would appreciate any

Stage 4 lung cancer
Hi. Mum has just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Just waiting to see if it’s treatable (only possible option is to try and shrink it but not looking good). She started having a cough in August and after still having it at the end of September went and got it checked out. Can’t believe how quickly

Update on CAT scan
This could also be metastasis from the breast cancer surgically removed 3 months prior to the
lobectomy
. My oncologist is 70 - 80% sure it is
lung
cancer and I'm 99% sure. Time will tell. Now we wait.

Is it more in the DNA than we think?
This is a question for the experts but even they need some data to go on so here is my point: Reading the forum highlights a wide variation in starting point for COPD. There are some who have been diagnosed in their 40s (even 30s!) and others not until, like me they are in their 60s. It is also the case

Just so sad
My dad has stage 4 lung cancer. His first line treatment did nothing and was stopped as his kidneys were damaged by it. We have been on a year wait and watch. Well today it’s grown by 10%. He’s been offered another treatment but he has opted to go on an immunotherapy clinical trial. I hate this disease

EGFR Exon 20 mutation NSCLC PATIENTS

There are very few options for those who have this mutation other than chemotherapy. (The majority of EGFR positive patients
