Incidental finding

Forums
General Lung/Thoracic Cancer

Happy Sunday all. I'm new and trying to figure what is going on with me and an "incidental" finding from February 21, 2020. I have a host of spine issues from cervical to my lower lumbar and sciatic joint. I've been treated by an orthopedic doctor for my cervical spine and lumbar spine issues. In February of this year a cervical ct scan was done. When the scan was read and a report was written on the findings. I went back to my orthopedic doctor and he gave me the information on the report. Which I was already aware of. After numerous injections and pt I'm still not pain free.

General Lung/Thoracic Cancer

About 3 years ago a friend was massaging my back n I went to school for massage therapy so I know how to massage under the shoulder blades so I was walking my friend through it so they can massage under my shoulder blades cuz on my right side it was hurting my friend felt what we thought was a knot under my shoulder blade.

3 years later the knot is still there, bigger and causing much more pain. I've had a cough but just chalked it up to it being just a smoker's cough. 

Egg freezing (Oocyte cryopreservation) during treatment in Tagrisso

Forums
General Lung/Thoracic Cancer

Dear All good day,

I am Serpil, ı have lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) sinse 2017. First year i used Tarceva and it helps to remove 60-70% of cancer cells. Now I am using Targrisso within two years. The cancer cells seems passive and my treatment still continue. I went to the Obstetrician due to delay of the my period and ovarian reserve was found (AMH) 0,92 ng/ml. Is it possible to freeze my eggs. Did you perform egg freezing operation while treatment under Tagrisso?

Thank in advance 

Age: 32 / Sex: Woman / Adenocarcinoma
