What Do These Lab Reports Indicate?

Posted on Mon, 10 Jul 2017

Question: I have attached a letter regarding my mum. Please answer the following:

1. Can mum be cured?
2. Has this gone in the lymph nodes?
3. Not heard when treatment will start, I am worried it will spread whilst waiting for treatment?
4. Do you see this be an early stage cancer? I dont know what stage it is.
5. I am worried sick my mum is only 66
6. Does this have a good prognosis?

Answered by Dr. Deepak Sundriyal (4 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Hello. Chances of cure are there

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have seen the reports. So the disease appears to be localised and not advanced. Scan is suggestive of limited nodes involvement but the actual nodal disease can only be decided after surgery. She requires surgery follwed by radiation and chemotherapy. Definitely , her age is more , but still many patients are able to complete the treatment and there are chances of complete cure. This disease has good prognosis and there is nothng to worry.
Thanks and regards
