How Can Breast Cancer With Lung Activity Be Treated?

My wife was just given a cat scan which detected breast cancer and showed some activity in lung. She was then told to get Pet scan, which she has just completed, and as told by her surgen, pet scan showed some activity in lungs and a tumor, about golf ball size in abdomen. he said next step is to get biopsy of this tumor which we are now preparing to set up. She, also, has broken out with a red rash on part of face, neck and chest and back. What should she take to rid the rash and let us know what other information you could provide for her current condition. Thankyou, OTIS

Hi

Since her cat scan detected breast cancer and pet scan is showing activity in lungs and tumour in abdomen i would advise you to to go for the biopsy test to find out primary site of the cancer.

You also need to do Immunohistochemistry (IHC) test which is a special test used by pathologists to detect specific molecules on cells.

It helps in accurate diagnosis of the primary site of the cancer according which treatment can be planned.


Regarding the rash she can take tablet avil 25 mg once daily after food for 5 days.
