Advanced stage lung adenocarcinoma
My mother is suffering from advanced(stage IV) Lung adenocarcinoma, she was diagnosed in December 2024 with metasis to liver and bones and she was further put on targeted therapy as it was EGFR and TP53 mutated- Osimertinib and Chemotherapy and it worked and resulted clear PET CT scans until recently . After a year of diagnosis, recently in May 2026 she went through PET CT scans following a swallowing difficulty and it was found that the cancer had become active again(not at the primary site) at the either side of the hilar nodes and in the esophagus (outer part not inside) now doctor has recommended Amivantamab and carboplatin chemotherapy. I want to know if this will work as she is havina a lot of complication while swallowing food and is having purely liquid diet. For how much time will it be effective? Doctor has said 1yr so really one yr or it depends? Is the line of treatment that is being followed ,correct ?

Prostate cancer or infection stage 4
Hello Doctor, my grandfather (Nanu) has Stage 4 prostate cancer and we are from Alwar, Rajasthan. He has severe pain from lower back/waist area to knees. Earlier, his testicles were surgically removed and currently he is on chemotherapy medicines. It has been 5 days since medicines started and he is gradually becoming weaker. Now he is finding it difficult to walk properly and we are very concerned. Could you please guide whether this is expected or urgent? Also, if needed, could you recommend a good specialist near "Jaipur", Delhi, or nearby areas? Could you please guide us regarding what kind of diet/food he should take during this time? Also, are there any foods we should avoid?
