lung cancer
hi, just joined this site, i have been seen by the oncologist, due to severe copd im not a candidate for lung surgery, radiotherapy for 4 weeks has been agreed, there is also a lump in my breast so another ct scan is needed along with biopsies so radiotherapy will be delayed until the results come back

Are people with previous drug and alcohol problems eligible to get a liver transplant?
I'm pretty sure I've got serious liver problems. Blood tests were good but i can't definitive tests at the moment. I used to smoke legal highs (cannaboids) years ago and I think they fucked up my liver. Since then I've been a binge drinker which i think pushed it over the edge. I haven't taken drugs

INHALERS
At the present time I take a Seebri in the morning & use Bricanyl as a reliever - it has been suggested by my consultant to use Altibro breezhaler - does anyone have experience of switching to this ie is it better than Seebri? I had an op for lung cancer in 2017 & was diagnosed with COPD in 2016.

Hi All I am new to this site and thought I should make a post. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, have just completed 2 years of immunotherapy, one treatment every 3 weeks. The consultant says I have responded really well for someone aged 78 but unfortunately during the last few years

CLL - Extremely Vulnerable clarified
Previous posts have discussed the contentious issue of which CLL patients in the UK are classed as Extremely Vulnerable and are therefore eligible for government support. Members on watch and wait in Scotland have been excluded as they are not among those "who are at any stage of treatment". While few

Stem cell transplant anniversary
It is now exactly 12 months almost to the minute since I watched the bag of stem cells slowly drain into the Hickman line. It's been a very eventful 12 months to say the least. Since my last post 9 months ago I had a difficult end to 2019. I was hospitalised for pneumonia in October which turned out

Lung surgery
Hi, I am just joining the group today, I was diagnosed with lung cancer in February and it is T200 adenocarcinoma, I had 60% of my right lung removed on March 19th and have been told now that the lung left behind may still have tuma cells. I have opted to go back into surgery next week for the rest

Social distancing whilst having treatment
Stage 4 lung cancer. Hello I am having chemotherapy and immunatherapy for my cancer, cycle 1 was given at the chemo unit in the main hospital, however cycle 2 was moved to the Helena Rollason centre which is in a separate building, this made sense to keep all cancer patients away from the main hospital

Steps to become a carer for my sister
My sister is having chemotherapy for lung cancer and is self-isolated in her flat in London. I want to be able to go there to be her carer.
