Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been suffering from adenocarcinoma lung stage IV for four years and undergoing regular chemotherapy. Now, the disease is in progress. I am currently seeking a second opinion for suitable treatment. Please help.

Thanks.

I could not open your file. Kindly upload:

1. Initial CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report.

2. Histopathology report.

3. Sequence of treatment received.

4. Latest PET (positron emission tomography) report.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

I have attached the reports.

Thanks.

Hi.

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

My opinion is:

1. The patient received the treatment per guidelines with a good response.

2. He received all the significant medications effective for this type of lung cancer.

3. Now, I favor only symptomatic treatment like nutrition, pain control, etc. I am not in favor of aggressive treatment at this stage.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
