Lightning strikes twice!!
In July 2012 my dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma he died 6 weeks later. On Wednesday my mum was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and is currently in hospital for a mediastinoscopy as they suspect the clear biopsy result of her lymphnodes was inaccurate. Over the last 8 years my sister

Can lung cancer be diagnosed by a CT scan?
Hi everyone, About four weeks ago, my partner started coughing up blood..went to A and E, diagnosed with pneumonia and given antibiotics. This week he coughed up blood again. GP told him it wasn't pneumonia ( no indication in bloods) and he shouldn't have been diagnosed with that. He was sent straight

R.I.P. Bob the street cat.
A pet that inspired the book A Street Cat Named Bob has died aged 14. James Bowen met Bob in 2007 during his battle with drug addiction when he found the cat abandoned and injured and decided to look after him. He began taking the ginger cat with him when busking or selling The Big Issue in London.Bowen

Update on 1st post, scared but glad to be alive!
Sorry it has taken a while to get back, So the phone call with the consultant was frustrating and disappointing to be honest. He started by mentioning the "very serious infection" I got the feeling that he thought I didn't know what it was, I said "yes, the Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis" I asked

Unique Cells Found in Lung Cancer Patients may Predict Survival.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive five years. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type where tumor cells shed from the main tumor circulate in the blood and settle in other organs and metastasize

EGFR Afatanib progression
A question to my fellow lung warriors ! I have recently progressed on Afatanib - I am a stage 4 advanced lung cancer with mets to liver and bones throughout. Have had an amazing 9 months on Afatanib but sadly rapid progression has started. Two biopsies have sadly not shown the elusive T790 gene that

Why I’m participating in the next cancer voices summit
Were you aware that the original 2020 Federal Budget cut out funding for lung cancer search? A concerted effort by patients, families, clinicians, advocates and lung cancer foundations got lung cancer specific funding restored. That’s important because lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer

Living with Chronic Neuropathic Pain
There is much money in the pain and drug industry. Ethics and the recipients of these drugs do not factor into the bottom line. Profit and Loss Statements mean percentage increases at any cost. It is sad that chronic pain patients are made to feel like drug addicts and treated in a most callous way.
