Recurrence and follow-up treatment of brain tumors by the Hong Kong Society for the Prevention of Cancer Dr. Li Yu Chung, Jacky

My husband was diagnosed with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma in March 2019. At the end of February, a positron emission tomography scan showed a 7.9cm lung tumor, with tumor spread in the surrounding lymph nodes and metastasis to the spine. At QE Oncology, using electrotherapy 5 times to relieve pain in the spine can stop the pain. Due to the absence of genetic mutations in the extracted lung tissue test results (he is a smoker), targeted drugs cannot be used. He wants to try immunotherapy, but the test result is less than 1%, so he cannot use this treatment and can only use chemotherapy with the chemotherapy drug Alimta+Carbonation After four rounds of chemotherapy, the cancer cell index in the blood test dropped from around 18:00 to around 8:00. However, after the second round of chemotherapy, the cancer cell index in the blood test increased again to around 12:00. Unfortunately, the tumor has metastasized to the cervical lymph nodes. The doctor's advice is that first-line drugs are already the best drugs. To switch drugs, only one drug can be switched, and the medication needs to be administered once a week. There are also more side effects than before, and steroids are needed, which can affect the stomach and may lead to gastric ulcers (my husband currently has gastric ulcers and trigeminal neuralgia, so he needs to take these drugs again). The doctor's suggestion is that second-line treatment is effective for only 1 or 2 out of 10 people. The proportion of second-line immunotherapy is around the same, and it is relatively expensive. It is estimated that self funded medication costs about 50000 yuan per month. In addition, he often has a fever and anemia, and needs to be hospitalized for blood transfusion. The hospital has a fever, and the doctor does not approve his discharge. There is currently no treatment plan. May I ask the doctor: What treatment can be given to my husband in this situation? Can cervical lymph nodes be treated with electrotherapy? What suggestions or opinions can you give us? Thank you!

Hello doctor, my brother is 55 years old and just had an X-ray. We found a 3-4 centimeter shadow and emphysema in his right lung. The hospital doctor suggested that a computer scan and bronchoscopy should be performed. I would like to ask if it is necessary to undergo bronchoscopy after completing the computer scan? Because of concerns that bronchoscopy is an invasive examination, there are risks involved
