NSCLC EDFR Migration Stage 4 LC at 37.
Hi guys. I'm Adam, I was diagnosed last April at the age of 37 with Stage 4 Lung Cancer which had spread to my spine. It was caught on an X-ray of my throat completely unrelated to the cancer. As a lifetime non-smoker it was a complete shock (and still is). Turns out it was due to DNA mutation). Ive

PIP payments after a double lung transplant
I wonder if anyone from the UK could answer this questions. If you are receiving PIP payment do you have to inform them before your operation or after? Once you have had your operation will your PIP payment be stopped? All responses would be welcome Kind regards Joe

62 years old, PCD with SI and polysplenia. Have a 66yo sister PCD/SI, too. Normal sister and brother as well. On oxygen 24/7, currently living at sea level, but am about to move in next couple of months; we'll see if I can tolerate 1800 feet above sea level or not. But I need a dryer climate, now

New treatment for lung cancers with a BRAF mutation
The FDA has approved a combination of two drugs for the treatment of patients with BRAF V600E mutation-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. This is great news as it adds another targeted therapy to treatment options. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/informationondrugs/approveddrugs/ucm564331.htm

Just home after lung wedge resection
After so much anxiety about lung surgery, I was discharged this morning three days from the surgery date. It was not as bad as I'd feared.. the most painful part was the chest tube but the pain was significantly reduced after that was removed. I had the surgery because of a PET positive, speculated 1.5
