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?

View allMy uncle has bowel cancer and his doctors said surgery isn't an option because he's not strong enough. He's getting worse every day and I'm really worried how can I send you his test results for a second opinion? What other treatment options might help him?
If surgery not an option, chemo, radiation, or palliative care can help manage bowel cancer; share test reports for second opinion with oncologist.

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.
