Hi everyone,
My partner's mom who was diagnosed
with advanced stage adenocarcinoma(thought it was NSCLC) has had her second chemotherapy
session. We discussed about giving her Tarceva. Doctors want to
continue 2 more chemotherapies and are not advising Tarceva as they
strongly believe the cancer in the lung is metastatic and they have not
been able to identify the origin yet. Her bone scans are clear and they
are sure it hasn't spread to the brains. she had uterine cancer 15
years ago and had surgery and has had a healthy normal life. Now, her
lower portion has been tested for and is clear.Any thoughts on this? We
don't know what to do and are confused about the diagnosis. Anyone here
with an Unknown Primary?
Any thoughts,directions will be highly valuable.
Thanks heaps,
- V
