Suggest Treatment For Stage 4 Small Cell Carcinoma
my moms heart rate is 175 she has small cell carcinoma stage 4 the doctor has said for the last 5 weeks that she is too weak for chemo even though she gained 7lbs without the chemo the mass has come back causing pain and other issues (low blood oxygen levels)
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the case of malignancy then patient may experience and more it could be due to chemotherapy and some time may be due to disease it self, once it is the chemotherapy going on there then it is nothing to worry even for the increase heart rate hope this information helps.
