Suggest Treatment For Initial Stage Muscle Cancer With Suspected Nodule In Lungs
Hi Doctor,
My close friend had a minor fall at home about 2months back and which turned to a clot and after massages it was swollen and now the doctors have confirmed for Tumour.
He underwent chemotherapy and took a dose of Elastin injection as well from Vellore CMC hospital and Doctors have mentioned it as a initial stage muscle cancer.
They have taken the Biopsy and the other test reports havn't come yet. And they suspect that there might be a small nodule about .8mm in the lungs and it hurts him when he takes a deep breath. is that a Infection will it spread more? what is the cure or does he have a restricted life span? Please guide me.
Regards,
Shruthi

Hi, dear
He has very small lung nodule. It needs monitoring. He should go for regular follow up at every 6 months. If it increase in size or he has symptoms then go for further investigation like ultrasound guided fnac. For muscle tumour wait for biopsy report. Then take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision and chemotherapy is the treatment of choice.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
