I'm really concerned about a tumor in my breast that's about 1.5 inches from the top. It feels round, but the inside seems flat. It's been painful twice a week, and I feel the same pain on my back where the tumor is located. I've been seeing a homeopathic doctor who said it would improve in six months, but it seems to be getting worse and I haven't done any medical tests yet. What should I do?

View allI had surgery in Bangladesh 2 years ago for this issue but now it's come back in a different spot. The doctor there is recommending another surgery but I'm looking for a specialist in India who really understands this condition and can treat it properly so it doesn't keep recurring. Can you suggest someone experienced with this?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm really worried about my 70-year-old mom. She's been on levatin ib tablets for her thyroid cancer treatment and recently we've noticed this white mucous discharge. It's been going on for about two weeks now, but there's no foul odor. She just had a PET scan two days ago and it didn't show anything unusual. She's also bedridden and uses diapers. Could this discharge indicate an infection or something more serious? Wouldn't the PET scan have picked up on anything serious if there was something wrong?
The mucous white discharge in your 70-year-old mother, who is bedridden and undergoing thyroid cancer treatment with Levatin IB, could be indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI), especially given her age, immobility, and use of diapers; although the PET scan didn't reveal any abnormalities, UTIs may not always show up on PET scans; it's essential to consult her doctor or oncologist about this new symptom, as they may prescribe antibiotics or order additional tests, such as a urine culture, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

My CT scan shows a large 6cm mass in the posterior fundus of the stomach, possibly a GIST. The biopsy came back as fibrocollegnous tissue with no malignancy. What's the next step should we try to shrink it with meds or go straight for surgery? Any specific treatments you'd recommend?
If GIST is suspected, surgical removal is ideal; medication like imatinib is used for certain confirmed GISTs.
