Personal achievement
Hi all I just wanted to share a personal achievement with you all. Yesterday, I completed Snowdonia marathon with my husband in just over 6 hours!! It is billed as one of the UKs toughest road marathons and I had done it three times before. However, last year I had to cancel my place as I had been diagnosed

Left Upper VATS Lobectomy Surgery 10/29
My Father is going in for this procedure, (stage I lung cancer) and i was hoping to get some inside information on some things we could do for him at home that will make his recovery easier. Should we get adjustable Mattress, or a self lifting recliner for him? what can we expect?? thanks

Some help please
My dad has Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis it's a very recent diagnosis. He's 66. Has anyone tried the serrapeptase or nattokinase enzymes? And does anyone know the exclusion criteria for lung transplant for the UK?

So many things going on...hard to keep track!
My husband has been battling COPD and Fibrosis for many years. He also has cardio myopathy and congestive heart failure. He was told 8 years ago that he had two more years to live (thank goodness they were wrong). Since then he was diagnosed with Diabetes, had a Triple A surgery (Abdominal Aneurism
