Stigma of lung cancer.
After reading an american article on the web, I thought how similar America is to the UK. You may find this interesting. Being diagnosed with lung cancer carries a certain stigma. ”How long did you smoke?” “I didn’t know you were a closet smoker.” “Too bad he didn’t quit smoking sooner.” Unlike the

Feeling confused
My dad (aged 72) was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer last February. The cancer hadn't spread, so surgery was a good option. He is very fit and healthy and has never smoked. He had a successful lobectomy in March and they took some nearby lymph nodes which came back clear. He was advised to have four

The Man at the QE, E' Say Yes!!!!!!! :)

I had the operation on April 3rd and have been suspended off the transplant list for a lot longer because of the high risk the abscess infection

What happen if one is testing EGFR negative? Is there still hope in life without these targetted therapies?
Hi there, has anyone taken Iressa which was subsequently proven ineffective from CT scan after the first cycle i.e. the tumor continues to grow instead of shrinking. Could this be due to EGFR negative and is a second biopsy needed? What type of treatment other than chemotherapy is suitable for this category

Benefits of zinc
I have bought some supplements: vitamin C and zinc. I wasn't very clear on the benefits of zinc, so I looked it up. it's seems quite a good booster for the immune system. As we are in autumn, and people will start to cough shortly (!), I wanted to make sure that I don't suffer this autumn and will avoid

Have you, or has someone you know, had a lung transplant?
Hello, I’ve been contacted by the NHS Blood and Transplant service with a request for help. They are exploring ways of helping people to make decisions about the risks associated with organ transplants. They would like to get the views of as many people as possible. This includes people who may need

Low IgA and IGG blood results, what does it mean?
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows what the low IgA and IGG mean. I am on long term antibiotics because of the frequency of infections and I am still getting them, one infection landed me in hospital for 5 days last month. I am due to see consultant again in November and will be seeing the immunologist

Hi all, I have not been on the site for quite a while as I went for a lung transplant in January. I am now recovering and would seriously recomend it to anyone who has the chance. No they are not always successful but lung disease does not improve! Sue Exxxx

Transplant
I would like to talk to someone who has had a lung transplant. I am being considered for the waiting list but I am still unsure whether this is the best thing for me. I am 63 so it would be helpful to talk to someone in my age group.

Reassurance needed, please share your experiences of the NHS
My fit 60 yr old husband was diagnosed with lung cancer last July when he attended a rheumatology appointment due to chronic pain in his wrists, feet and ankles and they did a routine chest x-ray. He then had CT, PET scans and a mediastinoscopy, followed by surgery (not VATS) for an adenocarcinoma, plus

Not sure what to expect
Hi, I had a left diagnostic thyroid lobectomy on wed after an 8mth history of a growing and changing cyst. My FNA's look mostly benign but my consultant wasn't happy about the growth and changes in the 2mth between fna's. My TFT's were within normal range but had increased since first test. I am unsure
