I had a lobectomy (RUL) two years ago for moderately aggressive adenocarcinoma stage 1a. My recent CT scan showed a 6mm solid non - calcified pleural nodule in the LEFT lower lobe which was not present in previous scans with most recent scan being 6 months ago. No infiltrate or pleural effusion present. There are also two small fissural nodules which are unchanged for 2 years.

I have lung cancer, stage 4.Fluid was removed from my right lung and my left lung was sealed,
pleurodesis.
I was still very breathless and it was discovered I had blood clots in both lungs.
Was put on heparin drip for 2 days now I give myself 2 lovenox injections a day.
Breathing is better, but still breathless and very tired, cannot walk a short distance without getting winded.
I have been on Tagrisso for 4weeks.
Why is this so?

Please advice!

I have UTI and 2 different organisms are detected and only macrodantine antibiotic is applicable for both.

I am on Tarceva treatment at the moment and not sure if I can take Tarceva and macrodantine together. Is macrodantine will affect Tarceva absorption and or effectiveness?

I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you !

I had stage 1 lung cancer. Had lobectomy 11 weeks ago. Removed bottom two lobes, right lung. No chemo needed. Taking Cymbalta for nerve pain and it has calmed down. Severe tightness under my right breast and very heavy on right side. Will this go away? Is this common? The severe tightness isn't the same as the pain I was having but almost unbearable. Anybody?

My 79 yo uncle was just diagnosed with NSCLC Adenocarcinoma. Waiting for an oncologist appointment set for July 19th, in the meantime here is his PET/CT and biopsy. Any help would be appreciated, specifically:

If you struggling with depression or going thru a tuff time in your life maybe trying to seek spiritual help would help you like it helped me , sometimes I feel hopeless and with no purpose of life in times like those I just remember there some one i can count on and seek for the way of life and happiness. Everyone is important in this life even you , God loves us all and we have a IMPORTANT part to play. I'm asking you to give him a try and give it a try let him come into your life. Give him all your problems and watch him give you all the answers and solutions for you.

My husband was recently dx'd with stage 4 lung ca due to metastatic pleural effusion, of which he has a permanent chest tube in place with approx 600 ml drained every other day. Due to stage 3 kidney failure and cardiomyopathy, no treatments are being done at this time. He has begun having night sweats. What does this mean? He is a dm II but bs are controlled.

I know I shouldn't but I googled my symptoms. I have had inner shoulder pain that sometimes goes down my arm and into my neck. It's not always constant. I saw pan coast tumors that one of the biggest symptoms is shoulder pain. I'm freaked out and will definitely be calling my doctor but was wondering if anyone has had any of this to start. Thank you so much for your help

My mum (73years,IVstage,small meta in lymph nodes,EGFR+,exon18,G719X), was for 21 months on 1st line Afatinib (first 40% reduction, last three months with slow progression), after that she was on pemetrexed monotherapy for 3 months with quite significant progression (30%). Since finishing on Afatinib 3 liquid biopsies for T790M have been done with no outcome - not even the original mutation showed. Tissue biopsy would be problematic.

Is anyone on Tagrisso (osimertinib) taking or took dexamethasone? I want to start my mum on osimertinib, but she is taking dexamethasone for brain lesion edema. I learned there might be interaction between these two : dexamethasone may reduce the blood levels of osimertinib, which may make the medication less effective in some cases. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations and did you have good response from Tagrisso while on dexamethasone?
