My sister was readmitted to hospital on Tuesday with chest pain. They were afraid of pulmonary embolism but they eventually said it was inflammation of pericardium ( 1st called it Dressler syndrome today they said Serositis) She has been on ibuprofen and colchicine but CRP level elevates except for 2 days when it dropped. Now they are giving her cortisone intravenous Lyodrol 40 mg. She has had so many post surgical complications. As for biopsy report it says: atypical 4cm carcinoid with necrosis, 1.2 mitosis and ki67 4%. Of the 8 lymph nodes removed, only lymph 7 had focus metastasis of 2mm and oncologist recommends she do 4-6 cycles of cisplatin and etipisode as she is Stage 3. Could anyone give me any feedback.
