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.

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.

Hello doctor, hope you are doing well! I am writing to seek your help and consultation in my grandmother’s case. She has been admitted to a hospital in bathinda for treatment on 15th february 2020 right after she collapsed. After consultation with 3 different doctors, we are transferring her from one hospital to another. First doctor told us that she has fluid in her lungs and she needs oxygen, so he referred her to a private hospital to put her on ventilator. She was on ventilator for 2 days, then after ct scan that doctor referred her to another doctor who is a lungs specialist. He removed her from ventilation and put her in icu. While she was in icu, she had paralysis attack at night on 17th february 2020. Doctors told us that situation is under control, but she does’t look fine. They are feeding her through pipe. The doctors in bathinda shifted her to the normal ward and last night she had great difficulty in breathing. We live in malout (punjab) and I believe that frequent travelling is causing her harm. I really trust the doctors in pgimr and I just need your opinion on the reports we have, as we believe that we are being misled.

Hello user.
I can understand your confusion and fear.
They are very natural.
But in such cases reports only are not enough and actual patient examination is very much required.
Better consult a local doctor for second opinion.

They are all mostly a result of long term effects of hypertension. I would suggest you also get an echocardiogram done to rule out any other cardiac pathology. Once we know the status, we can decide on the treatment part.

Cancer that begins in the lungs and most often occurs in people who smoke.
Two major types of lung cancer are non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Causes of lung cancer include smoking, second-hand smoke, exposure to certain toxins and family history. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.
