Cancer Care and Treatment

Hi, My mother is gng through the treatment for breast cancer stage 4 and initially for first few months nab pacilitaxel chemo has been given and that time also in both legs nerve pain was coming on and off but little servere and that time ultracet, progaba and all given, then treatment changed to palbo and letrozole and after then no pains for past 6 months and now again suddenly she is feelng that nerve pain in both legs as little severe. So again progaba and ultracet can be taken? And will palbociclib or letrozole also affects nerves?

Today I had a routine checkup. In that so many parameters are elevated. One of the test CEA is 3ng/mL I am a non smoker. Is it an abnormality? IGE is 150. HsCRP is 9.2

My father has recently been diagnosed with CMl-cp and does not experience any symptoms. Dastinib 100mg has been started since 10 days and it is working good. He has no other health issues as of now. My only concern is what is life expectancy of person with cml? What is the survival rate?

The report of cbc of my father before and after taking Dastinib for 1 week is attached alongwith. Although tlc has reduced a lot but platelets has also reduced a lot more and rdw has increased. Now doctor has advised to conduct next cbc after 15 days. But I am worried in next cbc reduced platelets will fall below normal range. Is it possible that Dastinib can reduce the platelets below normal range in next cbc which is to be conducted after 15 days? If so what to do?

Hi, Attaching current and previous pet scan report, can you please tell how is the situation here. This is 3rd pet scan, but i was able to attach only 2nd and 3rd. First scan i couldn't attach. Is it still not remission? Are still disease there?

I had gbs , acute pancreatitis and some sort of ibd all within last 1.5 years. Biopsy of colon: The lymphoid aggregates in biopsies I to V show an admixture of CD20 positive B cells and CD3, CD5 and CD7 positive T cells with a mild predominance of T cells with low proliferation index. The lymphoid follicles show prominent intact germinal centres positive for bcl6, CD20 and CD10 with high proliferation index with occasional follicles showing disruption by the marginal zone cells and T cells. The lymphoid cells are negative for Cyclin D1. Impression Review of slides  [H &E and IHC slides] shows - - Evidence of active colitis with aphthous ulcers, cryptitis and multiple crypt abscess and occasional small histiocytic aggregates. - Hypertrophied lymphoid tissue with follicle formation and prominent mantle / marginal zones. - Nodular lymphoid aggregates composed of admixture of T and B cells with mild predominance of T cells, evidence of epitheliotropism and low proliferation index.

What is meant by total resolution of metabolism or Complete Metabolic Response (CMR) of the previous nodule on the PET-CT scan?

In case of metastatic breast cancer Triple Positive. Initial treatment showed no evidence of disease of lung nodules. After 18 months of trastuzumab. Local primary tumor showed size and SUV progression without lymph node and metastatic disease progression. Lymph and metastatic disease still show no evidence of disease. What are options here?
