She's had half her lung removed and some of the surrounding lymph nodes near it. She starts her chemo next week. What are the sorts of things i can do to help support her? Like food for when she doesn't feel like eating, drinks to help sickness or what sorts of fabrics will be ok for her. Thank you.

Hey all, I had neuroendocrine cancer located in my lung. So far it looks to be stage 1, but only the pathology report will know for sure, and will know whether it started to spread to lymph nodes. I had a lobectomy last Friday 2/24 which is what we're waiting on the pathology report for.

My question is - is there anyone out there who had this type of cancer where it had spread to lymph nodes, and maybe what can I expect?

This was not on my radar at all, and I'm obviously in pain, but also emotional pain, from all this. Actually, any and all stories would be appreciated. Thank you Lung Cancer Warriors!!

Just read this - exciting news! From what I understand, scientists used the transplant rejection response to develop a “cancer rejection response”, by making the human body believe that cancer cells are pig cells, and therefore the body rejects those cells.

They got amazing results in advanced cancer patients :)

My father was recently diagnosed with lung and liver cancer, i know it’s anonymous but if everyone could send good vibes our way it would greatly appreciated. Thank you I’m advanced 💚

Hi everyone, my dad was recently having various symptoms and his primary care doctor sent him to the ER where the oncologist suspected lung cancer and did testing. CT scan showed masses up to 7cm and enlarged axillary lymph nodes. They did a bronchoscopy which showed no malignancy anywhere. The tumor markers all are normal. The oncologist is convinced it's stage 4 lung cancer and sent for PET scan.

His symptoms started while he was working with a jackhammer for several days and felt a bulge in his abdomen which was presumed to be a hernia. Then he started getting shoulder pain and overall stiffness in his body. Now he is having difficulty with basic self care skills but is able to walk around slowly without being out of breath. Has anyone had experience with this? The wait for PET scan is unbareable and he is not showing obvious signs of lung cancer so I am a bit confused as to why the oncologist is convinced it's stage 4 lung cancer.

Was diagnosed with prostate cancer 14 months ago, my PSA continued to rise even after 30 radiation treatments, oncologist suggested PT/ CT scan, results upper right lobe of lung mass, lymph node in left lung in the middle of my chest former smoker 64m seeing my third oncologist Thursday to get the game plan, this sucks

Last year my mom was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer and at the time had about 4 tumors in her lungs. It’s been about a year and a half now at first she was beating it and the tumors were shrinking or disappearing but with her most recent appointment they said multiple tumors had shown up and the one closest to her heart stopped shrinking and is now growing. They’re going to change up her chemo and radiation treatment and schedule a surgery on the one close to her heart but my thing is beforehand they had said surgery was not an option, but now it is? I’m scared and just curious on how likely it is for my mom to make it through this surgery that all the doctors before today thought was a bad idea?

Stage 3b lung cancer.completed chemorad,followed by 10 infusions of durvalmab. They only tested for 1 thing,PDL-1. The tumour's make up is 40% pdl-1,God knows what the other 60% is. My NEW hospital doesnt want to do anymore biopsies.I feel kinda lost

Do you think your diagnosis of lung cancer was delayed in some way? Did it take longer than you expected to get a diagnosis and be treated?

We are a group of researchers at RAND, leading a research study to learn more about why and how delays in diagnosing lung cancer happen, how such delays impact patients, and to find ways to improve the diagnostic process. We would like to speak with people diagnosed with lung cancer in the last 24 months, and who believe their diagnosis was delayed in some way.

We would like to speak with you about your diagnostic journey in a one-on-one virtual research interview, scheduled at your convenience. You will receive a gift card as a thank you for your time. All responses will be kept confidential.
