I'm a 21-year-old female and I've been dealing with right axillary lymphadenopathy along with central, lateral, and pectoral lymphadenopathy for about 3 years now. I was diagnosed with a 49mm fibroadenoma in the upper quadrant of my right breast through USG and FNAC around the same time. I'm really worried because these lymph nodes have been persistent and haven't shrunk, despite stopping the removal of axillary hair for months. There's no infection in my arms or chest, no nipple discharge, but sometimes I do feel a prickly sensation in my breast. Should I be concerned about the lymph nodes not reducing in size? What could be causing this?

My mom has stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma and just finished her third cycle of GemCis chemo. The doctors say surgery isn't an option and are only recommending palliative care. The tumor hasn't shrunk much, but she did respond somewhat to the first three cycles. She's lost a lot of weight, has no appetite, and feels really weak. Her oncologist is against homeopathy, but I'm wondering if adding it now could help shrink the tumor or at least support her during chemo. Is it safe to combine homeopathy with chemo, or should we wait until after treatment?

consult oncosx for that.

I found a few hypoechoic lesions in both my breasts one 15mm in the upper outer right, two more in the subareolar region, and a couple in the left breast's lower quadrants. There are also some small simple cysts in the upper quadrants. The report says the rest looks normal, but I'm worried do I need surgery or can medicines help What are the risks if I go for surgery

Hypoechoic lesions in the breast may or may not require surgery. If they’re benign, monitoring them with regular follow-ups is often sufficient. Surgery is typically considered if there’s any suspicion of malignancy or significant changes.
