Hi All
My mum had a kidney removed last July, her physical recovery was good after the initial 2 weeks. 3 month scan showed the cancer on both her lungs then just as she was about to start immunotherapy treatment for her lungs she had loss of movement in the left hand side of her body that resulted in 3 tumours on her brain being found.
Radiotherepy followed on the brain tumours and mum was put on Pazopanib for the lung cancer.
after only 4-5 weeks on Pazopanib my mums liver was badly damaged and treatment stopped. In the meantime whilst waiting for her liver to recover 7 more brain tumours have been detected on CT and MRI scans.
Her consultant has said that then will not treat the brain cancer without finding a treatment that can help with her lung cancer and may be the brain also.
Long story short, are there other options on drugs that can be tried for my mums lung cancer? Or are they all based on the same ‘drug family’ as Pazopanib? And therefore will all damage her liver? Is there anything she can do to help her liver cope with the drugs?
Any thoughts or help welcome xx
Yes, my mum also said it was an experience.....
