Lung transplantation for patients with severe COVID-19
Case studies and autopsy results are confirming that, in some cases, COVID-19 can cause such severe lung damage that patients require a lung transplant to survive. In a new study, researchers in Chicago analyzed discarded tissue from COVID-19 patients who had lung transplants and from patients who died

New cancer-fighting method leverages the mechanical force of T cells.
Immunotherapy is a promising weapon in the fight against cancer. It has proven to be much more effective than chemotherapy and radiotherapy in treatment of some cancers. The drawback is that it manages to cure only about 20% of patients; the remaining 80% do not respond to this kind of treatment. “But

New member trying to get their head round things !
I’ve just found out I’m on the lung transplant list. Feeling a little overwhelmed by it all and would love to find out more from others in similar circumstances any coping mechanisms.

Lung Transplant
Lung Transplant. Good Afternoon everyone. I have currently been on the lung transplant list over 2 1/2 year and I attend Wythenshawe Hospital on a regular basis for updating bloods scans and x-rays. I am constantly told to keep as fit as I can which is difficult at times as I need a double lung transplant

Atezolizumab
I have Adenocarcinoma stage 4, following half left lung removal in March . CT in August showed spread to right lung. I've been through 4 cycles of pem/carb chemo but recent ct showed continued spread in the right lung. Surgery is no longer an option as too widespread. I have no gene or Ros markers

Stem Cell Transplantation at Mass General
I have posted about this particular stem cell transplantation at least twice before. I understand that it was a "pay for play" situation. I understand that it is an "N of 1" situation. I understand that "placebo effect" could be a factor. I understand that much broader studies may be necessary. With

Tocilizumab patients and the COVID Vaccine
My Rheumatologist has let me know that it is fine for me to have the COVID Vaccine and to continue having my Tocilizumab injections. I am also on 10 mgs of Prednisalone. I have Giant Cell Arteritis/Large Vessel Vasculitis.

Stable CT scan. Five years+ living with Stage IV NSCLC
This is an excerpt from a caring bridge post I made yesterday. I also included a whole bunch of language stuff about covid-19and the need for each of us to do our part to protect one another, but I’ll leave that there. I am grateful that I just received happy CT scan results

Would love some advice
Hi. Firstly, I just want to say how grateful I am to have found this forum. It is invaluable and has answered some of my questions before I have even asked them - ie. blurry eyes etc. I would love some advice though if you can still put up with me. My consultant reduced my 40mg dose of prednisolone

Study identifies patients with lung cancer most likely to respond to immunotherapy.
Scientists are beginning to unravel one of the biggest challenges with immunotherapy: why some people with cancer respond to the treatment, while others may not respond at all. In a new study, researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found patients with a particular type of human

Fluid in opposite lung post Lobectomy
Hi My mum is 4 months post right lung lobectomy, she had an x-ray on Tues which shows this lung is clear - amazing news! However, they said it looks like there's fluid on the left lung, she's to go back in 6 weeks for another x-ray and post that possibly a CT scan, is this a cause for concern?

Low grade temp after lung surgery
Hello I just want to get some advice regarding my recent surgery and recovery. I had a bi-lobectomy in July. I didn’t need any further treatment and been recovering pretty well. Although in the last few weeks (since about mid September) I have notice I have been getting a low grade fever fluctuating

Update - Immunotherapy treatment
Its been a while since my last post, since my partner was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer with spread to an adrenal gland. I've thought long and hard about posting this as so many are so distressed about their situations, but felt it may help offer some hope to others. My partner was an ideal
