Hello
My wife is being treated for lung cancer with Tarceva, Her blood workups have been steady once the Tarceva did its' job. She is concern about other type of cancer. Would the existence of other types of cancer show up in her blood workup.

Thanks

Hi,

If it's the normal blood work taken during cancer treatment, the purpose would be to check things like white and red blood cells, liver enzymes, etc., not to reveal other forms of cancer. Though lung cancer patients are at somewhat higher risk for eventually developing other cancer (and it does happen), the risk is still fairly small.
