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 ?
My grand mother was diagnosed with neck cancer right side in march 25 treatment ongoing chemo pills taken and rt done in jan. Now she is unable to eat anything and weakness is there. Pipe is inserted. Reports attached. Need opinion
My grandmother is 72 years old and has painless external swelling/lumps near the groin/private-part area. She is otherwise normal, but she gets anxious and her BP increases during hospital visits. We consulted a gynecologist and general physician. Ultrasound report mentions bilateral inguinal nodal mass lesions and suprapubic lymph nodes, largest around 33 × 30 mm, with loss of fatty hilum and increased vascularity on Doppler. Impression says morphology is indeterminate/sonographically suspicious: lymphomatous / metastatic / granulomatous lymphadenitis. Report advised FNAC/core/excision biopsy and MRI pelvis with contrast. Please advise which specialist we should consult first: gynecologic oncologist, surgical oncologist, medical oncologist, or general surgeon? Also, should we proceed with FNAC/core biopsy first, or MRI pelvis with contrast first?
