Lunation - a soy peptide - does anybody know of this?
Hi, As I stated in my “New Here” email I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer a few months ago. I am currently taking Iressa. A friend has recommended taking “lunasin. a soy peptide”. She has a friend with Stage 4 lung cancer that was doing poorly but improved greatly when she started taking lunasin

2 Months since partial thyroid lobectomy.
Hello, I just wanted to post my latest blood results and get some feedback. I have a feeling that the labs drawn by my ENT are not accurate. Here is the timeline of my lab results. On 9/2/16 TSH = 0.958 uIU/mL (0.450-4.500) T4 = 8.3 ug/dL (4.5-12.0) FT4 = 1.27 ng/dL (0.82-1.77) FT3 = 3.2 pg/mL

Strange blood levels...
As many of you know, I recently had a lobectomy, 6 weeks ago. Well yesterday I had my thyroid levels checked and they were as follows: I had a protein shake 3 hours prior, but nothing else for 10 hours prior. I didn't know my PCD was going to run labs. TSH .765 (.5-4.5) FT3 3.2 (2.0-4.4) FT4 1.07 (.82

Hi, I'm new to this! 😊
Hi everyone, I'm new to this. I'm looking to talk with others who understand what having lung cancer means & all of the emotions that go along with it! I had the top lobe of my left lung removed on June 16th this year due to adenocarcinoma. After 3 1/2 months my ribs are still sore & I cry so easily

Crizotinib as a first line treatment for ALK+ patients
We are pleased that crizotinib (xalkori) has been approved by NICE for use with a sub-group of people affected by lung cancer. It had previously been approved for use in Scotland by the Scottish Medicine Consorium (SMC). This is a new treatment for a small group of patients with ALK+ tumours. To work

When Lung Cancer, Is NOT Lung Cancer
I was given 6-12 months to live on January 5, 2016. The HPV Throat Cancer I had in 2014 had reappeared in my lungs, and therefore, I had Lung Cancer. Right? Wrong. I have been saying I have terminal Lung Cancer, but the HopDocs (My doctors at Johns Hopkins) keep telling me it is not Lung Cancer,
