Staging questions
If lung cancer is contained to both lungs is it still considered Stage 4? My mom's doctor just ran a PET Scan and confirmed other suspicious areas outside her lungs are negative or benign - does that change her diagnosis? They didn't mention...

Did any kidney transplant people have high antibodies
Hello I’m on the transplant list I was hoping to get a transplant before dialysis but don’t know if it will happen . I had one offer that didn’t work out I found out then I am going to be hard to match cause I have high antibodies. I wasn’t even aware there was such a thing. How long did you wait before

Shaking
I received a kidney transplant in 2008. For the last few months I have been shaking a lot especially my hands. Taking 4 mg. of Prograf. Doctor increased it because level was low on blood test. Has anyone experienced this kind of shaking? Thanks

A Measure of Health with SLE Lupus
It affected my left
lung
(pulmonary fibrosis--doctors were preparing me for a
lung
transplant
but refused it). At this time I was being treated with cyclosporine in preparation for the transplant. (Did not want to live with that quality of life).

Had my third kidney transplant
Hello everyone:) Happy Holidays! 2 weeks ago I received the phone call that they had a kidney for me ..this was very unexpected because I had been told throughout the whole pre transplant process that I would have a living donor through the paired exchange program. My husband would donate to someone

What are the side effects of immunotherapy?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and the recommended treatment is immunotherapy, as the biopsy showed 90% compatibility with immunotherapy. What kind of side effects should I expect?

Lung cancer and depression and anxiety
Is depression particularly linked to lung cancer, over and above the obvious cause of having a life limiting/ threatening condition ?

I have had enough
This is Randy I had my Mohs procedure Thursday. 60 stitches in my temple, 30 stitches in my arm. Squamous carcinoma cancer from the Sun. Doctor told me cancer on my temple is very aggressive may come back. That really bothers me. I hope that no one has to go through this. So far this year I have had

The Melody Study
Dear All, have you been asked about The Melody Study, into COVID immunity? If not then Do ask- your Doctors/ Consultants or even your GP. I 'qualify' BOTH as a Vasculitis Patient and a 'Solid' Organ Recipient (I had a Kidney Transplant, in July 2013). The Test is, relatively 'easy' to do, a small Finger

Spirinolactone question
I am on the liver transplant waiting list (6m and counting.) Last year I was put on spirinolactone to deal with ascites, which it has done very efficiently, however, I have just had a call from the specialist's secretary asking me to stop taking it... I will keep an eye on my weight and any swelling
