Hi everyone My dad has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer. He has an 11.5cm tumour in his lung. so far we know the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and the liver. He is not very well he has lost his voice, doesn’t have much appetite, can’t walk very far. He is either in bed

Lung cancer cells have differential signaling responses to KRAS inhibitor treatment.
Genetic alterations of the KRAS gene are some of the most common mutations in lung cancer patients, but unfortunately these patients have few effective treatment options. Drugs that target the G12C mutation in KRAS have shown some activity in lung cancer; however, alternative signaling pathways are often

Update to ? Tocilizumab
I recently wrote for advice prior to starting on Tocilizumab as I was little nervous about side effects. I have now had 3 injections and my CRP is back to normal so have started to taper my prednisone down again. However I have been having sharp pains in my head, Rt temporal area, but also above and

TREATMENT FOR PSEUDOMONAS.
Hi going on Meropenem again. This is the third time since September. I've had two X rays still showing a shadow on my left lung waiting for a Ct Scan. At the moment I feel like it's never ending. 😕😡 Holly

Do you want to have a friendly chat to a researcher about your experiences?
[We're still recruiting to this study in case there are any new members or people who still wanted to take part] Were you diagnosed with lung cancer within the last 12 months? Have your say about your experiences in the PEARL study - a research programme led by UCL and funded by Cancer Research UK.

VO2max vs cardio fitness
I'm new to this site. I'm a 74 year old man living in York, UK. My Fitbit gives me a score of 42 which is supposed to be excellent for my age. Not long ago I had a proper VO2 max test where I rode an exercise bike with a mask on and they measured my respiratory gases. I was given a score of 13. This

Journey update: LVV/GCA, tocilizumab and exercise
I have been diagnosed with LVV/GCA beginning of February (though MRI/MRA and PET/CT were not fully conclusive). With the help of Tocilizumab I now arrived at 12.5 mg prednisolone per day. I know that this is a very fast taper but it worked well until now and from now on the steps will become much smaller

Covid vaccine & PMR
Having had my vaccine today, I asked the nurse if my antibodies would produce equally as well as someone who didn’t have autoimmune issues. She said probably not but the only way to find out that would be to have an antibody test after the 2nd vaccine. I have thyroid issues, hashimotos, and PMR, has

Transurethral Urinary Bladder Resection #2...coming up!
Well, mates...I made it for three years with the bladder neoplasia in check, and undergoing BCG vaccine every few months. Remember I could now go on the lung transplant list having been cancer free for three years. Well Thursday’s cystoscopy put an end to that (although my oncologist argues this type

Spinal Fusion identified while on Lung Transplant List
Good morning all, I have been listed on the Lung Transplant List for over 2 1/2 years now. They noticed I had the start of osteoporosis when I was officially listed which they put down to years of taking prednisolone. I have recently had another bone density scan and it showed up a spinal fusion? Has

post stem cell transplant covid question
I am now approaching 21 months post transplant (MF) and feeling well. My last consultation and bloods was about 3 months ago. I've only had phone consultations since March last year and so I'm hoping my next appointment, due in June, will be face to face at the QE B'ham where I had the transplant. I'm

What next?
Hello My mum was diagnosed with NSCLC last April. She had three rounds of keytruda along with two chemos and after her first scan, it showed a good reduction in the tumour and lymph nodes. She then continued with the immunotherapy and just one chemo. After her second scan there was marginal growth, however

Southampton scientists make major asbestos cancer breakthrough.
SOUTHAMPTON scientists have made a major breakthrough that could help patients with mesothelioma survive for longer. Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer that is linked to breathing in asbestos fibres. Currently seven per cent of people survive their disease for five years or more. People

Lung Cancer: LCMC3: Neoadjuvant atezolizumab safe, meets primary endpoint of pathologic response rate.
Primary analysis of the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) 3 study revealed that neoadjuvant atezolizumab prior to lung cancer surgery was well tolerated by patients and met its primary endpoint of 20% major pathologic response rate, according to research presented today at the International Association
