Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for your query. This is most likely metastatic gall bladder cancer, as mentioned by the radiologist, but needs a biopsy to confirm and to further characterize the tumor. Your friend can be treated with palliative chemotherapy. It will not cure the disease, but will give some relief depending on the response to chemotherapy.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sciatica is usually due to local compression over the nerve supplying legs like the one with disc prolapse. Arimidex (Anastrozole) is a hormone used for the treatment of breast cancer and can cause diffuse bone loss. That is why we give calcium and Vitamin D with these hormones to maintain the bone density. So my suggestion is to continue Arimidex till the response is there.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I am in favor of your oncologist's opinion. Because the chances of your lung lesions metastasizing are high. Over three to four weeks, they most likely should increase in size if malignant.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for the query. You described the immunohistochemistry, but no such report is attached (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Your father has stage 4 lung cancer, which means the cancer has spread beyond the lungs to other parts of the body. At this stage, the goal of treatment is usually not a cure but to control the disease, reduce symptoms, and maintain quality of life. Palliative care focuses on keeping the patient comfortable.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.Your reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) review is perfectly normal, as mentioned in flow cytometry. Globulin is only one or two digits up, and albumin is one or two digits low, as it is not clinically significant, so it is taken as usual. So, in short, except for disc changes, all are taken as normal.Thank you.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understood your concern. As seen in your report (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity), your CBC (complete blood count) shows very mild lymphocytosis, and the peripheral blood film confirms this with normal morphology. This normal morphology rules out anything serious, so there is no need to worry about it. However, your Hb (hemoglobin) is 16.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understood your concern. I believe you have had a good response to chemotherapy. If the estrogen receptor (ER) is positive, it is generally considered that both ER and progesterone receptor (PR) are positive. Regarding the Ki-67 score after chemotherapy, a lower value can indicate slower growth of malignant cells, suggesting less aggressiveness.
