My mother was diagnosed last month with NSCLC / squamous cell carcinoma. It is Stage3.She saw his oncologist this week to check on your treatment plan. It seems pretty aggressive: daily radiation and chemotherapy 2days/week simultaneously for two months, and after chemotherapy alone for 2 to 3 months.
I know that radio and / or chemotherapy difficult in a relatively healthy person (healthy non-cancer) it has also liver cirrhosis and the oncologist did not bother with cirrhosis anemia.Her (or interest in the 12 medicines that you under my mother and said that the call) with your doctor. We asked a 2nd Have thoughts / advice.
I tried to find information on chemotherapy, has an impact on the person w / liver cirrhosis, but only information about the liver is not cancer.Is back information: Chemotherapy and liver cirrhosis? Is there reason for concern about the impact on their treatment in relation to liver cirrhosis (for example, that his liver is able to) administer the treatment? Thank you!

I can not say how the liver responds to chemotherapy, I can tell you that your mother is carefully monitored during treatment ... especially with pre-existing conditions.
ReplyDeleteInstead of fear that their anemia ... during chemotherapy, many people experience problems with the protein level. During his round with a chemotherapy regimen, my mother, to protein shakes two or three times a day and had taken Procrit.
Another thing I had to have on the allowance was pottassium. Many bananas!
Good luck ... Level 3 is hard to say the least. My mother died last April, because of their cancer returned with a vengeance. Tell your mom to hang out there!
