Lung Transplant
Hi, Paul's consultant has said the next step is a lung transplant. Has anyone on here had one or know any one that has had one for PCD? He's not taken the news well at all. Thanks Tasha

Potentially a major setback
She said that if the condition is still progressing, and hasn't been cured by the drugs, I will have to have a
lobectomy
(I will lose a third of my right
lung
).

An immunotherapy now approved for first-line treatment
Late yesterday, the FDA approved Keytruda (an immunotherapy) as a first-line treatment for patients with lung cancer whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This means that Keytruda could be used as the first treatment after diagnosis (instead of chemotherapy) in some patients.

Lung cancer cough
Hi, Does anyone have any tips for controlling the lung cancer cough? I find it so awful that when I feel up to seeing my friends the evening is ruined by my hacking cough. I have tried many cough linctus and prescribed oramorph linctus and codeine linctus but all with not great results. Thanks, Lorna
