回复：紧急求助，我母亲患的是肺癌吗？

Sorry to hear that. I, too, love my mother very much. Here are my thoughts based on the info so far.

1. Need to look at the chest CT more carefully to make sure there is no invasion to right chest wall/thoracic outlet (Pancost tumor due to lung cancer). If thoracic outlet invasion is the reason for her arm symptom, then radiation and/or plus chemotherapy may be only the symptomatic treatment option.

2. She need brain CT/MRI with contrast to exclude metastasis as the central causes of the symptom. PET scan may also needed for stagging, or a simple bone scan.

3. Therapy can be iniatiated after stagging and possible tissue diagnosis if considering chemotherapy.

We'll check back again. Best of luck!!!
