Lymphoma can develop when lymphocytes white blood cells that fight infection grow out of control. This is caused by genetic changes in the cells. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

2013-mastectomy surgery followed by chemotherapy (6) (doxorubicin) and radiotherapy (25) followed by ai therapy including tamoxifen citrate 20 mg (5 yrs) 2018- metastasis in lumber spine along l3-l4 region treated by palliative radiotherapy (5 of 20 gy dosage) followed by ai therapy including letrozole 2.5 mg+palbociclib+monthly zoledronic acid 4 mg inj. But due to some affordability issues were unable to continue it. Now 2020- metastasis progressed to retroperitoneal region proximal to left para-aortal lymph nodes as per latest mri screening. From last few months she is suffering from excruciating pain in lumber spine that radiates to her ribs and intensifies during night. So for current condition she has already completed palliative radiotherapy (10) but that was of no use to her in terms of pain management or tumor suppression. So she is currently on chemotherapy treatment and completed 3/6 of paclitaxel100 mg+carboplatin. Our problem is that she is suffering from side effects of chemo including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Please help us to get her relieve from this condition.

While these may be the side effects of chemotherapy, they may also be a subtle pointer towards drop in white blood cell counts specially if the patient is taking the chemotherapy on a weekly basis. The patient also needs good pain management.

As I don't know the full history and the nature and origin of pain, its difficult to suggest accurate treatment. Two suggestions, 1. See the dr, who is treating lung cancer or he may refer her to pain clinic, 2. If the cancer has spread to the bone then zolendronic acid once a month, and if its due to local disease, then pregabalin or prothiadine.

Firstly sir ,would like to know, how long have you been diagnosed with lung cancer, and are you on any supportive chemo/ radiotherapy or any domiciliary oxygen support. Depending jpon the grading, of how breathless you are with bouts of exacerbations you have, few medicines can be titrated.

Long-term alcohol use has been linked to an increased risk of liver cancer. Regular, heavy alcohol use can damage the liver, leading to inflammation and scarring. Alcohol can also raise estrogen levels in the body, which may explain some of the increased risk. Please do connect with over a call so that I can guide you and provide you more information for this.

Get your liver function test / hemogram test/ stool routine and typhoid dot test done, it can be anything from simple food poisoning to typhoid to viral jaundice, but it can't be cancer as cancer doesn't spread like that from one person to another, if your liver function is abnormal you do further viral test like b virus c virus as these are dangerous if not treated you can have a private consult in Lybrate.

The life expectancy in a metastatic lung cancer has conventionally been dismal, maybe 6 months. But with newer generation medicines like gefitinib, even metastatic cases can live upto 2-3 years. In any case, I am curious that if the disease has spread to just lymph node, why are you calling it metastatic, it may be addressed with curative intent. Please share your pet ct report for further query.

Biopsy of a mass, you might also see a reference to reactive lymph nodes when you review your lab results. This means your lymph nodes are reacting to something going on in your body. However, it's usually not a reaction to anything serious. In fact, most of the time, reactive lymph nodes are harmless. But we have to look into the details of the problem.
Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.
