Why can’t all doctors explain things properly, it’s a shock enough to find out you have cancer, bless to everyone who is going through it ❤

[@rtyt6411]

Really useful video and the images and clear explanation of how the cells respond to different treatments really helpful. Well done David and Dr Ranj.

Small cell and non-small cell cancers have different symptoms. My mom died from small cell 9 months after diagnosis and my sister died from non-small cell 3 years after diagnosis. Both were treated by the same cancer doctor just 18 years apart.

[@roofscoop66]

Let's thank our lucky stars for the nhs!!!!!!

[@juliawigger9796]

My hubby all the symptoms. Coughing, itching skin that drove him crazy, exhausted, dizzy every time he looked up, just collapsing for no reason. No mri, PET, XRAYS, one day he couldnt breath, got over 2 litres of fluid removed from lungs, diagnosed with stage 4, died within 2 weeks. TO SAY I HATE YOU IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

[@Theresa-h4u]

So sorry to read this I understand your frustration. Videos like these make it look so easy yet for most people their symptoms are brushed of with no tests being done whatsoever. Doctors are always fobbing of then saying "come back if it gets worse"! Well if you're at a doctors then it's already bad!

[@RiponMd-m4l]

My father's lunch cancer now what should I do what would be better😢😢

[@rtyt6411]

What type of cancer ? Non small cell or small cell. If non small cell then gor for EGFR mutation test . If mutation is positive then life will be easy n prolong and if not then will go for chemo and after chemo will have to start immunotherapy and if god permits your father will be in good health Insha'Allah don't worry.

[@Here.to.speak.out.918]

I had a scan for something else in 2023 and a 10mm suspicious nodule was found in upper left lung. Saw a Thoracic surgeon who did all the tests including a Pet scan. Needle biopsy showed it was Adenocarcinoma. Had a robotic lobectomy. There is another 8mm nodule in the center of the same lung under observation.

Why are there no cigarette smokers rehab centers?

[@corinnejarboe3281]

My friend died last year. He was a chain smoker. He did not want to quit. He would not stop smoking around me. Now my chest is hurting. I quit smoking 25 years ago. It is very addictive. People really have to want to quit.

[@heide-raquelfuss5580]

Very good question. Also... Why can we buy cigarettes, if it is known...that it is very toxic? The same with alcohol.

[@DavidWasHere0]

My Dad is 54 and has stage 4 lung cancer and already spread it through his whole body within four months, but the doctor didn’t tell us how aggressive the cancer was but now we’re in hospice and they said yes few days to a week. I really don’t like how they didn’t explain, but it is what it is. God‘s plan life’s not fair, but God is.

[@nixm9093]

Tom, chemo is hard in my experience. Just when you feel OK you have to go again. Cut yourself slack, take 2 days to sleep and don't waste the energy being cheerful for the sake of those around you. You're allowed a shitty day here and there. Wish us both all the luck we need
