Can you talk to me about stage 4 lung cancer?
Hi, A very close family member who is dearly loved and needed has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She has known for 2 weeks and kept it from us all so that she didn't worry us. All I know is that she is T4, N2, M0. I am struggling to understand what that means? I know that stage 4 is

Mutation testing for small cell lung cancer Stage 4
Hello all I meet with my Doctors on the 17 Jan 17. I want to push the testing of mutations with them. When at Dana-Farber I agreed to all testing including genetic. However I am now getting my Chemo closer to home with a medical group affilated with Dana-Farber and Tufts. What kind of mutation testing

Finding Support as a Lung Cancer Patient: Reaching Out
There may come a time when you realize you need more support than family and friends can give you. Once you decide you want to reach out for more support, I suggest first looking at your preferred communication style. I am a pretty lousy email correspondent, for example. What I really like is talking

Unusual Journey?
Hi, A few posts have spurred me on to write this. I am a 51 year old guy who enjoyed good health and a good life up until 2 1/2 years ago. I started to feel very tired and thought that age was beginning to tell. After a few months I had a medical at work and it was noted that I had lost weight. I

Advice needed
I have been on Laxidu powders 1 or 2 nightly following.a bowel cancer scare some years ago which luckily turned out to be diverticular disease (not diverticulitis itself). I now hear that they can cause problems such as hoarseness etc. Does anyone have any info regarding this.

Back to work or Disability?
Looking for some advice on whether I should go back to a very stressful job to keep my healthcare or if I should go on disability and Medicare. I have Stage 4 lung cancer with EGFR mutation that has spread to my brain. Currently it is manageable with the meds (Tarceva) but they give me many side effects

Immunotherapy
Hi I'm new here. My husband has just been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and waiting to have the treatment. It will either be Chemotherapy or Immunotherapy but can't have the immunotherapy until they get a test back to see if he can have it. So my question is: Why can't all lung cancer sufferers

An article on food in STAT
Gosh, I write an article on food and lung cancer, and it seems like there are all kinds of other articles on the subject popping up. Here is a long and interesting article about two chefs attempting to create food that cancer survivors with damaged taste buds can taste. https://www.statnews.com/2016/
