Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your father has advanced lung cancer, which has spread to his bones and other parts of the body. I do not know why someone has said it is a stage 1 cancer. It is a very aggressive stage 4 lung cancer.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I do not have full information regarding the case from your query. Kindly give details on: What was the stage of the condition at the time of diagnosis? What chemotherapy was used? When did you start Arimidex? The conclusion I can make from the information that you have given is that the patient has bone metastasis only. The treatment for such a case is a change in hormone therapy. Your medication has already been changed from Tamoxifen to Arimidex.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through all the reports of your mother (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Unfortunately, she has a very advanced cancer which has spread to the liver and bones. It is causing obstruction in the flow of bile, which has caused jaundice. There is no cure for her condition.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have missed mentioning whether the patient is currently on treatment or post-treatment. If she is on chemotherapy or radiation therapy, she should not get pregnant. But taking contraceptive medicines does not affect cancer in any way. She can take these pills without worrying about adverse consequences.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through the details of your father's illness, and I will concentrate on the present problem. I will not agree with the advice for surgery of lymph nodes, as the PET scan suggests that it may have spread to other areas of the lung, though not confirmed. Doing surgery for a disease that has spread beyond is of no value. Unfortunately, for this type of cancer, there is no immunotherapy.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I saw your positron emission tomography (PET) scan report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If I were your oncologist, I would be very satisfied with the report. Bone metastasis cannot completely disappear after treatment. They become less prominent.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have not mentioned her birth weight. That will give us an idea of how much weight she has gained. Our criteria for good health in young children are their feeding, sleep, and activities. If all these parameters are normal, there is nothing to worry about.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through all your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and they all are fine. I really do not understand why you are worried. I do not know the reason why you got these tests done in first place. Do you have any symptoms? Your doctor also must have explained to you.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Teens at that age indulge in many experimental things. I am not surprised at what you did. The question is whether your indulgence has put you at more risk of cancer? The answer is we do not now. With the available evidence we know smoking increases the chance of cancer.
Hi, Welcome to cliniq.com. Your father has severe renal failure. The blood in cough could be due to many reasons. I think you need to concentrate on his dialysis. If blood in sputum continues, then we need to find out reasons for this by x-ray or CT scan.
