What to eat that will be beneficial while taking Tarceva? About six months in and stomach aches. Eating but weight loss as well. Know of orgs out of the U.S. and approach to holistic etc.

But really and truly what to eat daily? Know of power salads etc. But is there an alternative? Disease is going away but want to knock it out of the park....

Hello everyone. I've been reading through all the wonderful information here for a few weeks while my father was being investigated for lung cancer. He's a 65 year old life long non smoker with no other comorbidities. He's in excellent shape. He's had a persistent cough for a few months now and no other symptoms. He was just diagnosed with adenocarcinoma with a mass in the right upper/middle lobe with extension into hilum with mediastinal lymph nodes and left supraclavicular node involvement.

Hello and thank you all for caring!

I was treated for stage IIIA adeno in 2012. Had surgery, chemo and radiation. Was fine until this week. I have been having back/side pain for many months which is increasing in pain (severe, all the time) and going to the chiropractor did not help at all. Both my PCP and oncologist did not think my back/side pain was related to previous lung cancer.

Well, I had a CT scan this with of the chest/abdomen. Only contrast for the abdomen as I am highly allergic to the IV chest CT dye.

This is what was found (everything else fine):

Hi,

Hi Janine, hard to believe it's been a year. Just to let you all know that I just passed my five year scan. Everything is fine, it doesn't seem like five years since I was terrified by a dx of lung cancer. I knew nothing about it but thanks to you and Inspire I soon learned it was not a death sentence. No question just to offer hope to other frightened people.

Hello and thank you in advance if you decide to answer my question:

I will try to be as succinct as possible:

2006:

CT scan revealed a few subcentimeter foci of decreased attenuation in liver that were too small to characterize and unchanged. Mild elevation of right hemidiaphragm. 9mm density in right upper lung.

2007: CT chest w/woc:

minimally enhancing hepatic lesion not well visualized. Additional hepatic hypodensity too small for characterization. Right renal hypodensity too small for characterization.

2008: CT Chest w/woc:

Though I haven't received my PET results yet, my onc has scheduled my biopsy. It will be the bone biopsy from the spine. Can this actually be used for mutation testing? I'm concerned with the tumor having caused a compression fracture that the biopsy can cause more problems. Any info or advice greatly appreciated.
Take care, Judy
