I have stage 4 NSCLC adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis. I started carboplatin Alimta Avastin chemo treatment and wondering if this triplet is effectively treating bone metastasis as well….. I am also receiving zoledronic acid every three weeks , but it does treat bone mets.

There are very limited publications related to effectiveness of standard chemo on bone metastasis. I’ve found that targeted drugs such Erlotinib and gifatinib are very effective in treating bone metastasis.

Hi my mom is 76 and was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that metastasized to the brain at the end of December (about 7 weeks ago). She also has A-Fib which was being treated with Eloquis.

Hi, my name is Jen, I am getting ready to undergo a intact breast lesion excision on 2/7. They found radial scar. I already had a breast biopsy done. I am not sure why they will not take out the mass and lesion verses the intact breast lesion excision. I also, want to know are these painful to get done. I also, see on my visit summary says my medical conditions were other abnormal and inconclusive findings on diagnostic imaging of breast and neoplasm of uncertain behavior of right breast. I am just so confused. My ultra sound report showed bi-rads 4. Should I be worried that I have cancer?
