Swallowing and eating
I have have lung cancer, operated on, chemo and now it has returned. I'm about to have radiation on a new spot and also a lymph gland nearby. I was told I would have pain and trouble eating. Has anyone had this same problem? If so, how did you handle it?
Mom-in-law having tough time post-pneumonectomy
Hi, guys. I'm finding this a very informative sight. I want/need info about post-pneumonectomy recovery.

NSCLC Vaccine Holds Promise of Survival
Anyone recently been diagnosed with Stage IIIA/IIIB NSCLC should investigate a new 1300 patient trial now enrolling throughout the world.
