UPDATE ON X RAY's & CT SCANS,
Not been on for a while but I did promise an update to X Rays and CT Scans. Last August I had a COPD revue at local village surgery and Asthma Nurse spotted something she was not sure about. True my COPD flare ups had reduced but I was getting more breathless. Could not have a SPYRO as I have monthly

3 day assessment & prognosis
Hi, After the 3-4 day lung transplant assessment was your prognosis mentioned if you chose to not go on the transplant list.

new diagnosis
Hi all, I've just had the results of a recent PET scan. The cancer nurse phoned and told me it was 81% positive for lung cancer. She said they are suggesting I go for 5 sessions of Radiotherapy. I have an appointment to go see consultant on 11th August. I was just wondering if anyone else has been given

TSH drop is it too soon?
So I went to get blood work done today because I started 25mg Synthroid (brand name) two weeks ago but because I have been experiencing runs of NSVT (not SVT) and slower than normal heart rate (in the 50s) they wanted to repeat it. They also had me stop the Synthroid yesterday until we figure it out

Highly invasive lung cancer cells have longer 'fingers'.
Tiny finger-like projections called filopodia drive invasive behavior in a rare subset of lung cancer cells, researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have found. Adam Marcus’ lab has developed innovative techniques for separating “leaders” and “followers,” subpopulations of tumor

Hi Everyone, thought I would tell you about what has happened to me over the last couple of days.
