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

I know this means cancer in the

Understanding tests !
I have recently posted about not feeling good four weeks after my thyroid lobectomy and will see the specialist on the 23rd May for the pathology results. I have had bloods taken by my GP which have shown my TSH has risen from 0.72 prior to surgery to 3.55 (range 0.3-4.5) which I know could be indicative

What do lung cancer patients want from our medical teams?
I recently had the opportunity to talk to a group of medical professionals about lung cancer survivorship issues, and a major focus of my talk was telling them what I think lung cancer patients want from our medical teams. I think that it is an important message to deliver because my medical team looks

Lung transplant!
It's been a while again since my last post. Health update is as follows oxygen while awake, I'm going to try O-fev, pulmonary rehab, and lose weight. I have begun the evaluation process for a lung transplant I think my biggest obstacle will be the weight loss. I've struggled with obesity my entire life
