Vaccine, kidney transplant receiver and immunosuppresants
Hi everyone. I'm posting for my partner. He had a successful kidney transplant about 6 years ago. He takes immunosuppresants (Azathioprine) and has been offered a vaccine. Have anyone you post kidney transplantees that take immunosuppresants had the vaccine? If so, which one have you had? Were you

What next?
Hello My mum was diagnosed with NSCLC last April. She had three rounds of keytruda along with two chemos and after her first scan, it showed a good reduction in the tumour and lymph nodes. She then continued with the immunotherapy and just one chemo. After her second scan there was marginal growth, however

Only water fasting after renal transplantation. How long is safe?
Has anybody done only water fasting for over 24 hours after kidney transplant? I had done 7-8 days of only water fasting prior to KT and now have been doing IF of 20/4. I’m also a vegan of 16 years. Is long period of fasting on water safe for renal transplant recipients on immunosuppressive meds? Thx

Southampton scientists make major asbestos cancer breakthrough.
SOUTHAMPTON scientists have made a major breakthrough that could help patients with mesothelioma survive for longer. Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer that is linked to breathing in asbestos fibres. Currently seven per cent of people survive their disease for five years or more. People

Lung Cancer: Comparing Patient-Reported Outcomes in the CROWN Study
The abstract “Patient-reported outcomes from the randomized Phase 3 CROWN study of first-line lorlatinib versus crizotinib in ALK+ NSCLC” by Mazieres et al., presents a welcome analysis of symptoms and health-related quality of life (QOL) in those patients receiving the ALK inhibitors crizotinib vs.

Selected Gene mRNA Expression Is Not Predictive of Improved Overall Survival Among Patients Undergoing Surgery for Stage II-III Lung Cancer.
A phase III study examining whether messenger (m)RNA expression correlated with sensitivity or resistance to chemotherapy did not confer a statistically significant advantage in overall survival for patients with resected stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to research presented

Liver transplant ambivalence
I took my brother to his hepatology appt this morning (he has hepatopulmonary syndrome as a result of his liver disease). The registrar was great and gave us an overview of all the LT considerations and my brother stared at the floor quite disinterested-he won’t read up on it and would rather not know

Road Rage!
A piece of road walks into a bar and declares to all its occupants: "I'm the hardest bit of bitumen in the whole of this town!" The piano player stops and the bar goes deadly silent. After a brief pause, all eyes drop, the pianist returns to playing and the piece of road pulls up a bar stool

Kidney Transplant and Covid Prison
I was actually feeling more like my true self and confident that I was recovering nicely from the transplant surgery, then the covid hit and I have been a prisoner in my own house. The only social activity I have is going for labs and doctor appointments. I miss all the things I used to do: going

Missing protein helps small cell lung cancer evade immune defences.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells are missing a surface protein that triggers an immune response, allowing them to hide from one of the body’s key cancer defenses, a new study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The findings, reported online today in Cancer Research, a journal of the American

Is this real?
There are so many things racing in my head right now I don’t know where to start. I realize that I can no longer go on living with my existing condition. My father recently passed away in October. He was a liver transplant (2) survivor. He’s in a better place. I spent thanksgiving with my mother, along

New combination of immunotherapies shows great promise for treating lung cancer.
McMaster researchers have established in lab settings that a novel combination of two forms of immunotherapy can be highly effective for treating lung cancer, which causes more deaths than any other form of cancer. The new treatment, yet to be tested on patients, uses one form of therapy to kill a significant

Here we go again!
Had 2 thirds of my right lung removed in June (followed by Chemo & Radiotherapy). Latest scan shows that the cancer is back along the "Cut" where the left the top part of my lung. Can't believe its back after only 6 months (and with all the chemo & Radiotherapy). They are saying its inoperable and
