What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?
Question: Breast cancer specialists kindly answer ...
My friend's mother is diagnosed with breast cancer. Reports are attached. ( The website doesn't allow us to upload more than 3 reports so we have uploaded Discharge Summary, Echogardiogram, Whole body MRI reports. We will upload further reports during followup questions )
My friend lives in a remote place, the doctors over there seems to be not answering properly. We are worried.
What I understood from my friend's narration is., They are trying to arrest cancer spreading to other areas first and are trying to remove fluids from the tumour by chemotheraphy injections and are trying to reduce the tumour size to less than 1 cm. At the moment the doctors are giving chemotheraphy injections on first day and then on 3rd and 4th day they are giving " FILGRASTIM for SC - IV use only " injection etc. This chemotheraphy and other injections cycle will be repeated for every 3 weeks for the next 4 months. After that they planned to do surgery.
Kindly tell us is this procedure correct? What are the treatment options available to us? What precautions to take, food control to follow and any other valuable information, etc. Please provide very very detailed answer.
