Human Diroflaria Immitis
Has anyone ever heard of anyone having this? My husband has two nodules one on each side of his lungs, he is also a 3-year Pancreatic Cancer survivor. He had a PET Scan in February, which came back Negative, the Pulmonoligist says since his one nodule was 9.6 mm, that if there was Cancer there it should have shown up, so…
Help : food & fasting
I have a brother who just went through his 6 doses of chemo (6x 21days apart). The problem is his CT scan showed a larger cancer region. There are some in the family thinking to put him through a fasting (as long as he can endure) and after that a liquid only diet. Not sure if this a good thing so I wish for some comment.…

Money for lung cancer research
I met with my doctor today and the recheck went great. He took lots of time with my questions but didn't have all the answers (like why I have lung cancer, what can I do to prevent reoccurance, and how likely is it to reoccur). The problem is money for research. He says lung cancer is the number one cancer killer, but…
