Surgery May Send Me to the Back of the Queue.
The Transurethral Urinary Bladder Tumor Resection I had last Wednesday may impede my standing for a lung transplant. The pulmonologist upon learning of this diagnosis said in order to be on the donor waiting list, you have to be cancer free for at least two years. However, the urologist said the tumors

Flu jab & getting ready for winter
Went to the GP to get my flu jab earlier which I'm hoping will keep me protected over the winter. I've also been put back on doxycycline to give me a base level protection now that the sun is on the wane. Not overly pleased by this as I hate the hot flushes and burning feeling I get when I take the tablets

Do you know how sickle cell started?
I have read scientists believe that sickle cell started during slavery. This is why black/African Americans are born with the disease more than any other race. During slavery the owners of African people would withhold drinking water from the slaves as a form of hatred and of punishment. Without water

Scan done but Tech asked if I had lung surgery?
I hate these scans. The Tech asked if I had lung surgery? I did have my port removed but that’s not in my lung. I’m so scared I called the Oncologist. Of course they just said that they have not heard anything from Radiology. Said they would call if they heard anything. I hate acting this way but I know

Diabetes and lung transplant
Hi does anyone on the transplant list have diabetes? Or post transplant with diabetes before transplant? My husband is waiting on an assessment appointment but today found out that he may have diabetes, really worried that this may mean he in not suitable for transplant.

Sickle cell and menstruation
I know someone who is sickle cell anaemic, but her menstruation is not regular and when it does come it trickles and there's no use for a sanitary pad. The problem is she's worried that this means she isn't fertile since her menstruation isn't normal. But I read somewhere that the flow isn't much cos

Metastatic Lung Cancer.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Metastatic Lung Cancer (original site: oral) but, to date, I have shown no physical deterioration. Anyone else in a similar position ? The uncertainty is driving me crazy. The Consultants have advised me that it will "attack" eventually. It's the waiting and not knowing

Could this be PMR or Steroid side effect ?
I have been on Pred for 4 years and am reducing from 7 to 6.75 mg again. I had a very strenuous and stressful day on Saturday, going to a funeral and driving home took nearly 2 hours. The longest journey I have done for 3 years is about 15/20 minutes. When I got home I was so tired I needed a rest

Are you willing to talk to the press about treatment options?
hello all We have had a request from a pharmaceutical company regarding a possible press interview next week. They are looking for someone who has had lung cancer and perhaps has had surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. You would be interviewed by the press (most likely newspaper journalist) regarding

Radiation dilemma! IMRT vs Proton
Hi, I have another radiation question if anyone has any opinions or help that would be greatly appreciated! The mapping is complete now for my dad and the tumor next to his heart causing the SVC syndrome. The verdict came back that on paper it shows IMRT would be slightly less radiation to the heart

National organ donation week
Well it's national organ donation week and I have had the opportunity to be a recipient of a single lung transplant in November 2016. I'm doing great!! And all because a very kind family agreed for their loved one to donate their organs. I'm eternally grateful for the second chance at life with my daughter
