hi CFK,
very very sorry for that , i really apologize for posting my question here.
Dear CFK,
thank you for your question - yes i agree with your oncologist. you have had a good treatment. Tamoxifen is very sensible.
Women who experience nodal disease and don't have large disease in the lining of the abdomen do have a better course. this is at least partly because you do not have the same risk of bowel obstruction which happens from cancer involving the bowel. You Fahd a response to Caelyx (Doxil). this is a drug that can work for you in the future.
As Ajay says, there are situations where it is worth considering the surgical removal of isolated nodal disease. You should ask your oncologist about that.
take care
I think my question has been missed as it was pushed onto page 2. Please note that 'ajay777' has posted a question below mine which has nothing to do with me. Would you be able to answer my original question from 11/20/07? Thanks for your time.
hi CFK,
i also request if u can also ask these questions?
what should be considered as a optimal medical procedure for lymph node recurrence.
1-if lymph node recurrence is there, should it be surgically removed and given 1-2 dose of chemotherapy or giving only chemotherapy (6 doses ) for only small lymph node recurrence is optimal?
2-As lymph nodes usally become chemosensitive, giving more chemo doses rather than removing them surgically is justified?
3-what is the standard procedure followed if lymph nodes are the only site of recurrence? does the deciscion depends upon the treating oncologist or is there any standard procedure followed worldwide?
if u get any revert from the doctor please do send it to me.
HOPE YOU GET CURED? KEEP UP THE SPIRITS ?
hi CFK,
1) if only sign of recurrence is enlarged lymph nodes this is not as serious as organ involvement
This is the same question that i was also thinking to ask.
Does lymph nodes metastasis or organ metastasis and lymph nodes recurrence or organ recurrence carry more importance? My mother also had 3c OVAC with one lymph node metastasis that came in the pathological report, i also wanted to know if lymph node metastasis and lymph node recurrence pose a great threat and in what way is it to be considered a danger?
