Curious if anyone else has had their sex drive increase on Imfinzi. Asking because I am not sure if hormone issues may be related.

Thank you for answering. His original tumors are Adenocarcinoma in the left lung and Squamous cell Carcinoma in the right lung. He has several lymph nodes involved in the chest area that were biopsied and are defiantly cancer but the ones I'm most interested in information about are the ones in his under arm, groin and hip. The reasons for this are that he has had hip pain for years and also lower back pain that had no related injury. He was just officially diagnosed with lung cancer May of 2023. He had a PET scan in July to prepare for his treatments in Aug and Sept of last year. They only officially diagnosed and treated the tumors and lymph nodes in his chest but there were notes made about the other lymph nodes. This was the wording used: “Mildly hypermetabolic right paratracheal and left axillary lymph nodes are indeterminate for nodal disease. For reference, the right paratracheal node measures 1.5 x 1.3 cm (previously 1.8 x 1.1 cm) with a maximum SUV of 3.8 (previous max SUV of 4.6) best seen image 132. The left axillary lymph node measures approximately 2.2 x 1.0 cm (previously 1.5 x 0.2 cm) with a maximum SUV of 3.3 (previous maximum SUV of 0.7)” “New hypermetabolic nonenlarged left inguinal lymph node with SUV max 10.3 (image 311) and left external iliac lymph node with SUV max 5.5 (image 303) are indeterminate but unlikely to be related to the patient's pulmonary malignancy.” Since then (July 2023) he has done 35 treatments of radiation and 5 chemo treatments. After that was finished he started Imfinzi in Oct. The reason I am concerned is because we have not been told that his cancer has spread but I feel like based on things he's gone through lately that it is. Our Next scan is April.

If you would like to share, where are your mets? My husband has 2 types of NSCLC and I am curious if anyone has mets to the groin, under arm, or inside hip/pelvis. Research says it's rare but I just wonder about real world experiences. Thank you for answering.
