mesothelioma - anyone tried Opdivo or Yervoy?
Hello I am looking for some advice on mesothelioma, I know there is no hope, but maybe I can at least alleviate my dad's condition - he is short of breath, extremely weak and has chest and arm pain. I read about Opdivo/ Yervoy immune therapy (I believe nivolumab and ipilimumab are the exact drug names

California wildfires and stress/- update
I live in Northern California and have been enduring power blackouts for weeks. Today we have the 4th blackout in 3 weeks and are being told the blackouts could go on go another month as there is no rain in the forecast. Thank goodness no fires have started near me and I haven’t had to evacuate!

Secrets of lung cancer spread found in patients' blood and biopsies.
Early signs that a patient’s lung cancer may spread and become untreatable can be picked up in samples of their blood and tumour, according to a trio of papers published in Nature Medicine today (Monday). “Thanks to these findings we know much more about how lung cancer changes, spreads and evades treatment

Support for my dad
My dad has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. He has bee started on Pembro and really struggling physically and emotionally. Is there any opportunity to link him with another patient who is further along with their treatment and starting to feel better? I think he could benefit

Adding radiation after immunotherapy improves progression-free survival for some patients with metastatic lung cancer.
Adding precisely aimed, escalated doses of radiation after patients no longer respond to immunotherapy reinvigorates the immune system in some patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), increasing progression-free survival (PFS). Findings of the phase II randomized trial will be presented

Docetaxel...one down...advice wanted on “chilling out”
My dad’s PSA recently went up from around 4 to around 6, so the local oncologist told us to put a lung surgery on the back burner and to start chemo, which we did today. My dad is 86 and had successful chemo for non-Hodgkins lymphoma several years ago. With this chemo, I think he’s a bit baffled that

Silent Reflux after Lung Surgery for Early Cancer
I had a right lower lobectomy in February. My consultant is pleased with my recovery and I am now just being monitored. However after this surgery I had symptoms develop that lead me to now believe I have silent reflux or LPR. I've had an endoscopy that found only mild gastritis. I take Esomeprazole

Missed diagnosis for lung cancer.
I have been looking through previous posts for lung cancer and the treatment and diagnosis for lung cancer and a couple of people wrote about the appalling treatment their family member's had from their hospital. My hospital had my tumour on an Xray for over 2 year's but omitted to tell anybody despite
