Avatar f tn I have been taking Atenolol 25 mg twice daily and Micardis 20 mg once daily. It's my fertile time. We had a mishap with a condom last night and I am concerned that I could become pregnant. Is the medication a concern, or should I contact my doctor?

Avatar n tn I wish I had good news about you donating your Aunt one of your lungs. My Mother received a single lung transplant in 2007. A lung cannot be taken from a live donor though. The lung has to be harvested from a very recently deceased donor. And I so hate telling you this, but getting approved for a lung transplant is lengthy and much is involved. They put my Mother through many many tests. She had a lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Which is a terminal lung disease.
Avatar m tn In the early 20th century, lung cancer was much less common than some other types of cancer. But this changed once manufactured cigarettes became readily available and more people began smoking. About 87% of lung cancer deaths are thought to result from smoking. The risk for lung cancer among smokers is many times higher than among non-smokers. The longer you smoke and the more packs a day you smoke, the greater your risk.
Avatar f tn Hello I am a caretaker. My client was diagnose with lung cancer stage IV. It has already spread to the spine, both lungs and the lymph system. Doctors triede Tarceva for 3 weeks but her body had a very bad reaction. For the spine they did radiotherapy. But since she was diagnose 3 months ago she has lost aalmost her voice. she is using oxygen for the major part of the day but doctors don't wan't to talk about time. no more medes will be given and she was reffer to hospice....
Avatar n tn If the paralysis is on the left, the infiltrative lesion described on the left measuring 11-12 mm may have something to do with it, but it seems too small to be causing compression. Generally lung cancer with vocal paralysis are pretty large, a good number would have compression of the trachea/windpipe. The distribution of the lymph nodes also makes Lung cancer as a primary disease a bit unlikely, if we are to think about Cancer, perhaps lymphoma may be more suspect.
Avatar n tn And i also went to lung specialist and told and he saw the report which was given by doctor and said ok and also took lung capacity test, But the lung capacity test was not normal according to the nurse there, but doctor said its not abnormal and no need to worry. I am still afraid. Any suggestions please?
4461995 tn?1357955108 I just found out this morning that a dear friend was just diagnosed with Lung Cancer that has metastasized to her brain. She just found out and it is Stage 4. She has started radiation but doesn't know about chemo yet. Does anyone have any words of advice for me as to the best way to be supportive? I live in NJ, she is in CA and I am going to go out there to stay with her for a while soon. She is single.
Avatar n tn He said that and I about fell off the chair. Could the pain be related to lung cancer? Breathing never laboured, no coughing up blood. Though I am tired all the time and have gained a little weight over the past year...
Avatar f tn Hi, For lung cancer, any surveillance is used to capture early invasive cancer, so the short answer to your question would be yes. Other cancers such as breast and cervix, have known intermediate tumors with malignant potential, and hence, for such cancers, there are more options depending on what are the odds of subsequent invasive cancer.
Avatar n tn Hello my mother has been diagnosed with lung cancer that they feel has metatasized to the brain. She had two small lesion behind each ear located on the somewhat outer region. The doctor recommends surgery although risky it is not so bad due to the outer location. He also says that brain tumors dont respond well to medication and radiation may shrink or remove tumor they most likely will come back. Please anyone with knowledge on this topic will be helpful.

Avatar n tn Increased density in a chest xray usually presents with white, or increased whiteness of the lung fields. This may suggest lung disease, not necessarily cancer and may need to be evaluated further. Ideally, x-ray results are compared from any previous chest x-rays to help monitor any changes in the lung. A repeat x-ray after a few weeks will help determine any changes. Hope this helps. Take care and hope all is well. Do keep us posted and best regards.
Avatar m tn On June 5 I had X-rays and blood work done due to my back to back colds and flu for the last three months.  I have also had significant weight loss.  I had just chalked it all up to a low immune system caused by stress.  I was given a strong antibiotic and Ventolin (usually take Symbacort when I have a chest infection) and these seem to have helped clear up my diagnosis of pneumonia.
Avatar f tn My mom in law recently was diagnosed with lung cancer that had spread to her liver. she has recieved one cycle of chemo like 8 days ago. she is not eating hardly anything. we are giving her boosts, ensure things of that nature. this morning my husband noticed she had brown stuff coming from her nose and mouth. an ambulance was called and they rushed her to the hospital. she talks gibberish the last couple of days. she was home.
Avatar m tn Doc, is this maybe a sign of going to lung cancer?
Avatar n tn Before, there was probably a goal of cure, this time, the treatment may be able to extend life, but would not be likely to free him of lung cancer. This means that controlling the disease is temporary - though there is a wide variability as to how long this actual time period is. A second opinion is a good idea, but make sure that all the details are made available to the next doctor. Stay positive.
Avatar n tn No it would not. Do you have lung cancer because if you do maybe your lungs are not functioning at 100% and therefore not getting an adequate ammount of oxygen to your brain which in turn would certainly cause confusion.
Avatar m tn t even know if it is oral or genital. Can HSV-1 affect lungs considering the history of TB? Is it lung cancer? I am getting scared when I read about the link between TB and lung cancer and to make that worse I have HSV-1 on top of that. I read somewhere that HSV-1 affects lungs for immunocompromised people like who have HIV. Do the people who were treated for TB come under immunocompromised categoty? If my immune system is so weak then why didn't HSV-1 show any symptoms to me?
Avatar f tn Can anyone suggest what this could be....I am just really worried that its lung cancer. Can this occur to someone my age who does not smoke?
Avatar n tn My mother was diagnozed with nscl cancer stage 4 with 1 lung collapsed and cancer was found in back bone also, docters started geftinib and the results were amazing...she seems a normal person now but complains of weakness only, from inside i am always worried . how much time she have( in months) ? will she be a normal person again ? should we tell her?...
1511858 tn?1290477459 A rare side effect of Cellcept is Lymphoma. Not to induce your panic but I would recommend having Lymphoma ruled out. A lesion in the lung can be benign or malignant. The PET scan will reveal more.
