from the

Surgery in 1 week and Im petrified!!!
Well in 1 week I will be going in for surgery. If they dont find it in my lymph nodes then the doc can proceed with the either wedge, segment or lobectomy. He said he prefers open thoracotomy. Any suggestions on what is best to do to keep pain at a minimum and also to keep the cancer away from coming

COPD/Pulmonary Hypertension diagnosis
My latest diagnosis is pulmonary hypertension and my pulmomologist has advised that the only other possible treatment for me is a lung transplant. Are any of you suffering from pulmonary hypertension or have any of you considered such an option? Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Not much to tell at the moment
Good morning everyone, just an update from Brompton visit. I had ct scan and blood tests, and I am now waiting for a letter to admit me for a Bronchoscopy, and other tests. My breathing still no better and my chest is sore all the time. I also have a slight cough again, but not all the time, so hopefully

Paclitaxel
I am ALK positive and have been on inhibitors just for a matter of weeks but the consultant thinks the side effects are to harsh so wants to put me on iv chemo called paclitaxel. Apparently once a week for three weeks then one week off etc. I know this time round with chemo I'll lose my hair. I don't

Mother has NSCLC
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 4 1/2 years ago. She has been on Tarceva for 215 weeks (she keeps track) and now has increased nodules showing on chest xray. She will be having a ct scan, then next week we will see her oncologist for results. I'm afraid he will say the tarceva is resistant
