Help my dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer
3 weeks ago my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and on Friday we went to hospital for an oncologist appointment . They have told us that it is inoperable and that chemo is not an option either as he is too old and not fit enough ( he is 79) the only treatment they can offer is palliative radiotherapy

Complaints and comments re late diagnosis and misdiagnosis
I have had a meeting today with the Consultants who misdiagnosed my lung cancer in the early stages. I believe that the Consultants who I met with found the meeting beneficial to help them improve their practice and hopefully prevent the errors that were made with me happening to others. Lung cancer

Hi all I am new to this site. I am not posting about myself but about my 32 year old brother. 9 years ago he had a stem cell transplant to treat leukaemia (I was his donor), which has been in remission ever since. We have been lucky enough to have 9 good years during which time he has worked full time

Went for a risky walk in the woods and got my reward.
After taking a few pics of the bird life that turned up outside my Dads kitchen window I went for a stroll up the lane for my daily exercise. I did the usual route but then I thought it was time to get off the beaten track and take the path up through the woods to an old yew tree I remembered from way

Asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis,
collapsed

, apnea, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and cancer are some of the most common. (According to the American Lung Association, lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both men and women.)

Being a patient is so much more than just taking meds
We all heard about the mammogram,
collapsed
lung
and chest xray. So my question is this. We are incredibly slow to adopt basic technologies such as skype or Social Media for fear or what might be sent out in to the public domain. How is technology any less secure than the system we currently have?

Re- Consultant
Evening. I don't know if anyone remembers my post in December when at the time I was struggling to recover from Pneumonia I'd had since June. I went to see my locum consultant who was rude and depressed me by being so negative, he did however prescribe Azithromycin which have made a huge difference to

Asbestos Compensation Claims
For your information (after reading Dazisnotgood claim rejection I've spent a over a year with my solicitor trying to prove I have asbestosis (which 3 different consultants have confirmed) Pleura Plaques indicate you have had heavy exposure and you were compensated for these and the asbestos fibres as

Don't know what to do
Went for my first follow up appointment after being in hospital with a copd flare up. The Dr straight away said " I don't know why you have been sent to me as I don't deal with your disease but in any case you have a lung nodule which we will check on a follow up CT scan. If it has grown it's cancer

Did anyone have a hemopneumothorax and was then diagnosed with Endomitriosis of the lung?
I went to the ER and they found that my right
lung
had
collapsed
(THIS WAS ABOUT FOUR DAYS AFTER MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE ENDED COMPLETELY IF NOT LONGER.)and there was a small amount of fluid visible in the pleural cavity. They inserted a chest tube and immediately drained 800 ml of blood from my lung.

Quite a while since I posted on here!
As with most of us on here - have been to hell and back - but am alive and keeping going. I got squamous cell lung cancer after I had stopped smoking and have had some pretty radical treatment (concurrent cistplatin and verbenaline and radiotherapy, I think it was something like that!) Have had two xrays

Happy 21st Birthday Callum
Hi, I found myself this morning looking on the net with a need to connect to others who share my experience. Callum was born on the 5th June 1992 with a complete AVSD. Tomorrow would have been his 21st birthday. Every anniversary is difficult but this one feels harder and no less painful. He was 9
