Lung Cancer Warrioress
I'm new here. Was diagnosed with stage 3b NSCLC in January 2011 and it returned in my other lung December 2013. Currently, I'm stage 4 but not on any meds and see my oncologist on a 6 month basis. Like some, I become anxious about cancers return as I never really had any symptoms either time. Any suggestions

Wife of a lung cancer patient
My husband was diagnosed in February of 2012. He is doing well under the treatments given by his doctors and has learned some things that I think may be helpful to others if I share them here. I am also interested in learning from others who are dealing with this disease.

Hi, A very close family member who is dearly loved and needed has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She has known for 2 weeks and kept it from us all so that she didn't worry us. All I know is that she is T4, N2, M0. I am struggling to understand what that means? I know that stage 4 is

Mutation testing for small cell lung cancer Stage 4
Hello all I meet with my Doctors on the 17 Jan 17. I want to push the testing of mutations with them. When at Dana-Farber I agreed to all testing including genetic.

Finding Support as a Lung Cancer Patient: Reaching Out
There may come a time when you realize you need more support than family and friends can give you. Once you decide you want to reach out for more support, I suggest first looking at your preferred communication style. I am a pretty lousy email correspondent, for example. What I really like is talking

Unusual Journey?
Hi, A few posts have spurred me on to write this. I am a 51 year old guy who enjoyed good health and a good life up until 2 1/2 years ago. I started to feel very tired and thought that age was beginning to tell. After a few months I had a medical at work and it was noted that I had lost weight. I

Back to work or Disability?
Looking for some advice on whether I should go back to a very stressful job to keep my healthcare or if I should go on disability and Medicare. I have Stage 4 lung cancer with EGFR mutation that has spread to my brain. Currently it is manageable with the meds (Tarceva) but they give me many side effects

Would a lung cancer cough get better?
Hi, I've had a cough for roughly 5 months, i smokes and I'm 51. Ive had a chest x ray which was clear, and now had a CT scan last Friday, we have an appointment with a lung specialist tomorrow. Unsure if the results of the CT will be ready as the appointment was made the same day as the CT. My question

Immunotherapy
Hi I'm new here. My husband has just been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and waiting to have the treatment. It will either be Chemotherapy or Immunotherapy but can't have the immunotherapy until they get a test back to see if he can have it. So my question is: Why can't all lung cancer sufferers
