“I think we’ll cure leukemia in my lifetime”
“Is there anything else you’d like to share about leukemia treatment? I'm very excited because I think we’ll cure leukemia in my lifetime. We’ve already come so far. For example, before 2000, patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia had a survival rate of 10%. Targeted

Immunotherapy alone extended life for metastatic lung cancer patients with KRAS mutation.
Real-word evidence is suggesting, for the first time, the most beneficial treatment courses that could help extend the lives of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, according to research from the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. In a new study published online

Researchers Identify Potential Targets for Novel Treatments for Lung Cancer.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths, accounting for about a third of all tumor-related deaths. Adenocarcinomas, a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), account for about 40 percent of cancer diagnoses, but few treatments are available for the disease. A team of investigators led by Elena

Hi everyone! I’m a live kidney transplant recipient - on Valentine’s Day 2019. Glad to help anyone who would like general information or suggestions on finding a live donor or have questions about my transplant procedure, recovery, etc.

Good news for those suffering from heart failure, you CAN recover, I DID, thanks God.
First sorry for long post but it could be really helpful to those with heart failure. Nov 2019 ejection fraction at 15% , Mitral valve regurgitations (means not even pumping the 15% out correctly!), Got steadily worse, movement severely restricted, 80-year-old man fitter than me..and i was very fit

Liver + Kidney Transplant + Nephrectomy is Terrifying
I have learned that I am most likely facing a liver and kidney transplant in the very near future due to my PKD. This will include a nephrectomy. This surgery is rather terrifying to me as it is so huge. Has anyone had experience with this same surgery?

THINING SKIN AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
I have extremely thin skin since my transplant 17 months ago. I am still on high dosages of cellcept due to rejection issues. My arms, in particular, bruise very easily. Just scratching my arms will leave red marks that take weeks to disappear. I use Cera Ve moisturizer 2x a day and Eucerin Moisturizer

Level of chromosomal abnormality in lung cancer may predict immunotherapy response.
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer cells have low levels of aneuploidy – an abnormal number of chromosomes – tend to respond better to immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs than patients with higher levels, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers will report at the virtual AACR

Lung Cancer Livingroom. Where I found support and info early in my diagnosis.
In the scary, early days of a lung cancer diagnosis finding hope is difficult. Learning the language around lung cancer is overwhelming. Through the Lung Cancer Living Room I learned the stories of other patients and was educated by some of the best oncologists and researchers. This is the schedule

Does anyone have experience with Immunotherapy Atezolizumab?
Hi, I was diagnosed with LC stage 4 in Dec and had 3 cycles of Gencarbo which sadly did not have any impact. I have limited options available moving forward apparently as I have nsc squamous type cancer. Does anyone have experience that they can share with an immunotherapy called Atezolizumab please?

Which vaccine have you received and how did that go??
Does your transplant center recommend a certain vaccine like Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson Johnson?? Which one would be the best for kidney transplant or all the same?

Chemo for lung disease
Morning, I’m due to start chemo for my lung disease in two weeks. Just wandering if anyone has had the six month treatment? I’m worried about feeling and been sick! Sadly my ct scan and lung function has shown a 15% decrease and addition scarring so really need to be strong and get on with it......

Goid news and mixed up news . Oncologist rang to say bowel clear, liver spot melted away.,biopsy undefined at local source so sent to Nottingham. Most likely lymphoma. Whats happened to psoriatic?, I asked about lymphoma as I had no idea and he said he didn't deal with it but would transfer me ASAP.

Dangers of drinking alcohol with a kidney transplant ?
What are peoples experiences with drinking alcohol ? My son is 21 and doing very well 9 months post kidney transplant. I know he will feel peer pressure to perhaps imbibe on occasion. What are the dangers? I am worried he will make a bad decision and not much I can do about it.

Kidney Recipients
HI. I'm looking to chat with people who have had kidney transplants to find out about what it was like from pre-op to surgery to recovery to life after transplant. Thanks.
