Cardivelol tablets and Femara

[Prasath_sas]

Recently we took a CT scan which showed "parenchymal disease of liver with features of Portal Hypertension" and our gastroenterology doctor suggested to take cardivelol 3.125 mg tablets and buscogast tablet in case of any cramps. But i can see that cardivelol is used for heart related problems,, is it ok to take cardivelol along with FEMARA, also my mom have diabetes

My mom intially diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2011 august, we done surgery at that time and had 6 doses of chemo. After that she had a recurrence(Jan 2017) in same area and we did a PET scan which showed lytic lesion in 2nd and 4th ribs(Max Suv - 4.2), and uptake in left sterni manubrium(suv -3), So went for 30 doses of 3DRT radiation to chest wall and 4 mild doses of chemotherapy.Again we took a PET scan(July 2017) for response assessment which showed results as there is uptake only in left sterni manubrium(max suv -6). As she is ER/PR+ and HER- our oncologist suggested for Hormonal therapy. So for the past two years she was under hormonal therapy and every blood test , xray and usg came fine. Last week (May 10,2018) we went for a PET scan which showed results as " No metabolically active disease present anywhere in whole body survey). I am posting both of pet scan impressions below.

PET SCAN Impression(July 06, 2017) :

Intensely hypermetabolic screlotic lesions in manibrium sterni on the left side(Suv of Max 6) and there is an interval resolution in rib uptake. No definite evidence of metabolically active disease anywhere in whole body survey.

PET SCAN Impression(May 10, 2018)

Skeletal Area :

No Pathological focus of FDG uptake noted in extremities and musculo-skeletal area

Ametabolic Screlotic lesion noted in manibrium sterni on the left side

Final Impression :

No definite evidence of metabolically active disease anywhere in whole body survey

There is an Interval resolution of metabolism in sternum uptake.Suggesting complete metabolic response to therapy.

Since then she is doing well, except this parenchymal disease of liver.Please post your thoughts

Don’t know. You will need to ask your physician or the medical oncologist. We don’t have a Medical Oncologist on this forum, unfortunately, to answer your query. Since I don’t deal with these drugs at all, I don’t know much about it, but I don’t think there should be a problem at all.
