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

Confused :-( - Lung Cancer
We have been on one big emotional rollercoaster!!. My Mum age 57 began back in November she started to get severe pain in her chest, we took her to A&E where they done a X-Ray, the X-Ray showed a shadow on the lung. On our first appointment seeing a Lung Specialist in December 2016 we was advised that

Sarcoidosis or Cancer
I should have explained that my surgeon isn't certain I have lung cancer. Positive PET scan, node doubled in size over 3 months, and is "spiculated " margins. The confusion is that I have sarcoidosis in my lungs for 20 years and they don't know if it's that or cancer. Two needle biopsies were inconclusive

Upcoming Lobectomy
I'm scheduled for a left lower lobe lobectomy on June 20th and am very anxious about what I've heard is terrible pain after the surgery. In fact, I've even considered cancelling it which I know would be ridiculous . I had a 9 lb baby without any gas or epidural and was fine.. can anyone tell me if this

Lump on chest wall 3 months after surgery!!
I had a lobectomy at the end of February as I had a 5.5cm mass in my middle lobe. After being told by the consultant and surgeon that it was unlikely to be cancer, the results came through as stage 2A mucinous adenacarcinoma. I have recovered well, have some nerve pain but nothing too severe. 3 months

The Side Effect They Don’t Tell You About: Lung Cancer, Treatment, and Your Love Life
There is a very common family of side effects that can result from lung cancer treatment, indeed from all cancer treatments. It’s something that doctors have on their checklists for assessing patient status, but it’s a rare doctor who asks about how you are doing in this area. It’s also a rare cancer
