Sharing good news - stage IIIB NSCLC
I thought I would share some good news. My recent scans (MRI & CT) came back all clear! I was diagnosed June 2014 with stage IIIB NSCLC and have had chemo, radiotherapy and then had a lobectomy in June 2015. I have had no treatment since the surgery and my scans have remained all clear since then

An article on food in STAT
Gosh, I write an article on food and lung cancer, and it seems like there are all kinds of other articles on the subject popping up. Here is a long and interesting article about two chefs attempting to create food that cancer survivors with damaged taste buds can taste. https://www.statnews.com/2016/

What to expect?
Hi all, My mum has had a cough for 4-5 months, sometimes productive, sometimes not. Normally the colour is white, but it is occasionally green. She had a chest x-ray and this has come back clear, she also had spirometerty test, which come back ok, not amazing. She got 66% and the 'OK' is 70% apparently

Food, Glorious Food: Lung Cancer, Food, and Weight Loss
“Please step onto the scale… You’ve gained 2 pounds since your last visit.” Me, three years ago: [internal dialogue] “Gosh darn it! I already watch every bite I eat! Does this mean I have to give up chocolate????” Me, last week: “Wow, that’s great news!” Like so many of us, I’ve spent my whole life enslaved

Tuesday
Hi all, I feel like things are close to normal again, yesterday and today I made it pretty much all day at work. I spent all day Sunday freaked out over coughing up blood and a small piece of tissue. Finally I got a call back from my oncologist on Monday and he seemed a lot less concerned about it

Radiation therapy
My dad went in for his consultation today for radiation therapy to his chest and a lower dosage to his brain for preventative measures. I wasn't able to go to the appt because we live in different states and I had to work today. So many questions I have about radiation. My dad told me he needs to have

Liver Biopsy -Small Cell Lung Cancer that has mets in Liver and bones-Very Scared
My Doctor called last night he said I have small cell malignant lung cancer extensive stage that has spread to my liver and three places in my bones. He said Chemo is the only treatment. My goodness this is the worst lung cancer I can get. He said no targeted treatments are available. He wants me in

New Immunotherapy Drug
My husbands cancer is terminal its not responded to chemo its continued to grow with new tumors appearing. Today we have received a call to say from our Oncologist to say he is now eligible for the new Immunotherapy drug that was passed only last week by Nice and that the results were very encouraging

Feeling the difference...and the big dream.
Just completed the second run of Week 5. I didn't know whether I would get this far when I started out. My cardio-vasular fitness is probably better now than it's been in years (rare lung disease not withstanding!). What has definitely helped is that I've started swimming twice a week, about 20 lengths

Post lobectomy.
It has been almost 25 months since my lobectomy. The COPD seems to be getting worse. Thankfully I have been tobacco free for over seven years. The weight is slowly coming off. I am just wondering, since this isn't the first place for me to get cancer, how probable is it that cancer will rear it's ugly

I had a full right lung lobectomy in 2007
I was DX with stage 3a NSCLC in October 2007. In November I had my right lu g removed via VATS surgery at NYU in New York. I was fully capable of doing everything I did before and am now heading into year 10 of being cancer free. If you have a great thoracic surgeon you should be fine. I will say that

New & Worrying
This is my first post. Just found out today my elderly dad definitely got lung cancer. It's a tumour in his lung. We have been to a respiratory clinic, they are now referring him to oncologist. He's had PET scan & bronchoscopy. Apparently has spread to lymph nodes in neck but nowhere else. He hasn't

STAGING QUESTING -Should my group staging be changed again - might make me feel better a bit at least - but a,genuine question too for hope
I was originally graded as T2a, N1, N0. Pre my left lower lobectomany in September. THey said the approach would be "radical" They suspected 2-3 lymph nodes were affected and as well as the lower left lobectomy , they ,with another 14-15 other sites were removed and all found to be clear - great news

Advice for strange symptoms
Hi, I am looking for advice. In Dec 2014 I felt so tired I went to my gp. I discovered that I had lost weight. In fact I had lost muscle and gained some fat. I did a bit of research and found that small cell lung cancer can have some strange symptoms. My fatigue continued and in Oct 2016 I managed to

some advice ?
Hello I had a right lobectomy 20 years ago after some nodules were diagnosed I had one follow up with the surgeon and asked whether or not I needed medication and was told " no - that lobe wasn't working anyway, so your hormone levels won't be affected" I thought this rather odd - but accepted what
