First call for transplant
Had my first call last night, they told me I would be the back up for a heart lung transplant, if the heart was not acceptable I would get the lungs. So stressful for not only me but my family as it turned out not to be my time. Not sure how I feel today but can say wythenshawe hospital made the whole

Derealisation / dissociation disorder
Hi guys, So my journey started May 2016 I lost my mother aged 28. After months of excruciating grief I got a terrible virus (labrynthitis) in December last year which by January hadn't gone. In January 2017 I got a dissociation disorder. This presented itself as derealisation. It's hard to explain

Study presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress may mean a new way to treat patients with stage 3 lung cancer
This past week, results of some key studies were presented at a major meeting in Spain. One study, called the PACIFIC trial, could change the way that patients with stage 3 lung cancer are treated. The study showed that patients with stage 3 lung cancer who took an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab, brand

Positive news
Went to see my husbands oncologist Monday following the recent CT scan. We both went in with intrepidation but the news was fantastic. The tumour has shrunk again and some that had disappeared has not returned. In January 2017 we were hit with the news that he had lung cancer. It's been a roller coaster

Fresh from first visit to oncologist Is palliative chemo worth it?
This is my first post here. Today I saw my specialist for the first time. I've had all manner of tests to find a cause for my upset stomach and weight loss. He tells me I have almost certainly got an aggressive stage 4 lung cancer in one lung, spleen, adrenal gland and possibly in my larynx. He seems

Been awhile...
Hello I'm still alive and fighting...this is good I guess. I've decided against a lung transplant as I feel it is not really who I am, I don't feel it will extend my life much longer than going without a transplant, the required medication made so sick I wished I was no longer here, and lastly battling

Ibrutinib doing its job well
It's been a couple of months since I last posted and all is going well. WBC is coming down nicely and platelets, haemoglobin etc all in the healthy range. Joint pain is less often and I know that it will pass within a couple of days. Picking up on my exercise walking a local reservoir at pace (7.5k
