What type of lung cancer do you or your loved one have? Let's share!

My brother has small cell lung cancer :( He smokes and apparently that is the cancer that is most caused by smoking.

I have lung cancer for the 2nd time, they cant do a biopsy as its in an awkward place, so am being treated next week with Stereotactic radiotherapy. 1st cancer was non small cell.

I had collapsed lung and scan to investigate revealed lesion in other lung. This lesion turned out to be cancer T1b NX MX adenocarcinoma. I had the lump removed and am currently having 3 monthly checks (scans). No other treatment was considered necessary. I am 68 year old female never smoked.

I have small cell lung cancer currently receiving chemotherapy  and targeted therapy. Smoker yes, still trying to stop the hardest thing, I had three lung biopsies  two collapsed lungs absolute agony. This is so they target the right cells.Anyone interested in TCI oil, I asked my oncologist and he told me not to take it. Any comments please.

Mum was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer - unfortunately, the most aggressive kind. We're all fighting, mum included.

my husband was told december 2019 that he had stage 3 adenocarcinoma but they could not offer any treatments due to other health issues ( aplastic anaemia and pnh clone), not heard from any healthcare professional since except his haematologist who sees him monthly. don't know where to go from here. with advoce from pharmacists i work with i have managed to get carbocistein from gp to help his breathing and am trying cbd oil

Hello @trishw ,

I'm really sorry to hear you and your husband are going through this. Have his doctors given you any other advice?

Take care,

Michael

Thank you . No the only help I have had is when I've asked GP for carbocisteine which my pharmacist suggested. Nobody seems to want to take responsibility for his so called palliative care, not that I want anybody taking over his care but would have been nice for somebody to contact us to see how he is coping now that the news  has had a chance to sink in and tell us what signs to look out for that the cancer has moved to the next stage

i have 1st stage cancer i had an op  and they have told me i need to have half my lung taken away . the pain i can not stand and i am not sure if i can go ahead with the op  need help has anyone gone thow this 

I have Small Cell Lung Cancer, left lung tumour, mass on chest and lymph nodes affected by the cancer, now has spread to the bones.   Have had radiotherapy for 3 weeks twice a day, and four chemotherapies.  Have spent most of 4 months in and out of hospital - 2 weeks at a time.  I was offered 6 x chemotherapies but have now asked for a break from the last two so I can have a holiday without being sick for a change.  When I come back they have offered my another PET Scan to compare the one I had at the beginning to see if any progress or improvements have been made and then I will decide whether it is worth carrying on with the treatment or not.
