I read your description carefully and wrote it in detail. In my heart, I have a very clear view on your father's treatment-chemotherapy is not needed, which should have been recognized by oncologists. However, I feel very confused. Why does the doctor still want to give your father chemotherapy?

Therefore, it is still necessary to spend some time talking about the beneficiaries of adjuvant chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery: the general situation is good, the tumor is larger than 4cm, and there is lymph node metastasis. Otherwise, patients who receive chemotherapy live shorter than those who don't, in other words, patients who receive chemotherapy die faster than those who don't. In that case, why do you want to give chemotherapy to a person with a tumor of only 3cm and a heart disease?

Don't let yourself get into trouble and bravely walk out of the misunderstanding-the stronger the chemotherapy, the better. In fact, chemotherapy is a double-edged sword, which does great harm to the body while treating tumors. Pay attention to your father's heart condition. It is helpful for patients to strengthen immunotherapy in tumor treatment, such as thymosin injection. In addition, pathological specimens after operation are used for egfr gene detection, and in case of future disease progression, Iressa or Trocquer can also be used for treatment. (Not needed now).

(Dr. Zang Aihua from Hubei Cancer Hospital solemnly reminds me that because I can't see the patient face to face, I can't fully understand the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. Please go to the hospital for specific diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor! )
